Higher Expectations for Racine County

This spring, our Community Engagement Manager Leanna completed a national education policy fellowship and has come back with new skills and renewed energy for the work we do together in Racine County.

Congratulations Leanna! 🎉

Today we kicked off day one of The Wisconsin Partnership convening at ThiveOn King in Milwaukee! So far, we’ve connected with our StriveTogether partner orgs here in Wisconsin to collaborate on our statewide policy vision and goals.

We had a great time last Friday at the Reaching for Rainbows event hosted by The Mary Lou & Arthur F. Mahone Foundation! It was such a great opportunity to connect with our partners, community members, and celebrate the amazing work happening in our community. Congratulations to Racine Unified Schools alum Seth Donald on his scholarship and all the other winners!
