This initiative will support Alamosa 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.
"Overcoming the cycle of poverty and associated negative conditions to succeed in school and prepare for college, employment, and/or careers is a major challenge facing the youth of Alamosa County.
This process will ensure that all young people in Alamosa County can obtain the future they envision through attaining educational outcomes, particularly by focusing on increasing collaboration and coordination of policy, process and practice to address the negative impact of adverse childhood experiences."
