Education is a key driver of economic growth and individual success, creating and sustaining a vibrant and thriving community.  Our region is home to a broad variety of educational options at all levels and yet the sector continues to face significant challenges in serving all families equitably by providing excellent learning opportunities. 

We maintain a sharp focus on educational opportunities for underserved youth from their birth to workforce readiness. We believe in cross-sector collaboration and scaling of innovative solutions that drive long-lasting impact as well as ensuring that all have access to the rich variety of educational and cultural assets our region has to offer.
