Our Story
In 2015, an opportunity emerged to do more for children and families through coordinated efforts. Starting with new leadership at key organizations (Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce, Naples Children & Education Foundation, Community Foundation of Collier County) connected to collaborative efforts at Champions For Learning and Collier County Public Schools, and a spark was created.
What would it look like if we started to learn and understand the entire picture of results for all children in Collier and figured out how to work together to do more?
That conversation has led to more than 60 organizations working together to ensure every child is Future Ready, through concrete goals and strategies that are aligned and leveraged across organizations.
The Strategic Partner Work Group leads the overall vision and alignment of resources. To see a list of the partners involved, click here.
