This initiative will support Durango to engage stakeholders to examine a public education challenge, explore its root causes, and design a locally-driven solution. This initiative is supported by Gates Family Foundation, Wend Ventures and The Civic Canopy.
"The challenge that continues to create significant barriers for our students in Durango is the lack of, and deep need for, coordinated and aligned wrap-around services connected to youth mental health and wellness.
We hope that by the end of this process, our community has the supports, resources, and interagency communications planned and/or available to help our youth population have the resources they need to become the best versions of themselves and barriers that have existed in their lives can be addressed."
