Theory of Action

 

Bright Futures
Every child. Cradle to career.

We are proud to be one of nearly 70 partnerships within the national StriveTogether Cradle to Career network. StriveTogether is a visionary national movement committed to ensuring every child has the opportunity to succeed from Cradle to Career™. Their ambitious goal is to place 4 million more young people (up to age 35) on a path to economic mobility by 2030

Central to achieving this goal is the StriveTogether Theory of Action™, an evidence-based framework that supports communities in building the civic infrastructure necessary to transform systems shaping opportunities. This framework fosters collaboration among cross-sector leaders in education, housing, healthcare, and more, driving better outcomes for youth and families. StriveTogether holds partnerships like ours accountable by awarding designations as communities progress through the Theory of Action™.

This designation reflects our commitment to transformative systems change and our dedication to building brighter futures for all young people in Monterey County.
