Forsyth County is working together to put 27,000 additional children and youth on a pathway to economic mobility by 2030.

It’s one of the most ambitious goals our community has ever set and achieving it will require all of us to work differently.

No single organization, program, or investment can get us there alone. Creating a better future for our youth requires a shared understanding of where we are today, what children and families need to thrive, and how our collective efforts fit together.

Knowledge creates shared understanding.

Shared understanding enables coordinated action.

Coordinated action changes systems.

This public dashboard is a tool designed to support our community’s shared work to improve the lives of Forsyth County’s children and youth. By bringing together community data, research, local strategies, and, over time, community voice into one accessible place, the dashboard helps us better understand where we are, align around shared priorities, coordinate action, and measure our progress toward better outcomes for every child.

Explore the Educational Continuum

Children’s lives are shaped by many interconnected experiences from birth through adulthood. Success at each stage creates opportunities for the next, while barriers early in life can have lasting effects.

The developmental continuum below organizes our shared work around seven milestones that together create a pathway toward lifelong wellbeing and economic mobility.

Success in education is connected to every other part of a child’s life.

When a child is hungry, when they are living without stable housing, when their basic needs are not being met, they face disadvantage before they ever set foot inside a classroom. To support children and families to thrive in education, Forsyth Family Power’s work must extend beyond the classroom to address peoples’ holistic needs. Through our partnership with Thriving Together Forsyth, we are aligning with the Seven Vital Conditions framework—interconnected essentials that every person needs, all the time, to live healthy, joyful, and connected lives.
