Data as a Flashlight

We believe that data is a tool to be used as a flashlight, not a hammer. Data helps our partners identify the high-impact strategies that will strengthen our community. With the right information, our community is able to achieve better outcomes for every student, including students of color and economically disadvantaged students and families.

Why Career to Cradle?

While many communities work from cradle to career, our work begins with the end in mind: a fully capable and employed Racine County workforce. To achieve this vision, we work backwards – from career to cradle – to ensure Racine County youth are prepared for success in life.
