Douglas

Last year, we unlocked the potential of more than 3,000 individuals, children, and families in Douglas.

Our Child Well-Being Index ® tells us there are more children and families in need in Douglas. They aren’t just numbers on a map, they’re your neighbors.

How are the children in Douglas county?

Based on local child well-being insights, the Douglas County Advisory Boards determined Building Strong Learners and Increasing Economic Stability as the most important areas to focus efforts.

We know it takes every sector to remove barriers and that’s why we invite individuals, corporations, non-profits, and government entities to create viable solutions and drive sustainable change in Douglas County with a focus on these priorities.
