Community Impact Areas

Community Impact Areas

We believe a thriving Jefferson County (Jeffco) is a place where collective wellbeing is prioritized, ensuring everyone’s basic needs are met. It’s a place that provides economic freedom so that everyone prospers, and where vibrant communities foster connections, promote holistic wellbeing, and provide convenient access to the things that improve quality of life. It’s a place where we all belong.

Rooted in active listening, learning, research and best practices, we are focusing on three key impact areas. We are committed to continuously refining our approach to make the greatest positive impact in Jeffco.

Collective Wellbeing

We believe that collective wellbeing is achieved when all our neighbors have consistent access to nutritious food and attainable housing. This impact area supports stable, accessible and affordable living conditions to build a promising future for all, and supports improved access to food for Jeffco residents, ensuring the availability of local, healthy and culturally relevant food.

Economic Freedom

We believe that when our neighbors have the resources and opportunities to pursue career-based education aligned with their goals and aspirations, they can make intentional life and work choices, ultimately leading to economic freedom. Our commitment to this impact area starts with early care and education and extends through workforce development, creating careers that build generational wealth.
