Mission 
Because we believe lives are transformed by education, Bright Futures fosters progress in local education outcomes, from cradle to career, with a priority focus on closing equity gaps. We do this by engaging people in pursuit of shared improvement goals and by supporting change makers across the community as they create measurable results.

Vision 
We envision a future for Monterey County with vibrant, local talent; where young people succeed in education and see a bright future for their lives; where adults believe in the promise of youth, and where employers find abundant, quality candidates locally.
