Kane County
Kane County’s history ranges from pre-historic dinosaurs, indigenous peoples, early explorers and settlers, western movie history, and modern-day explorers. Known as "Little Hollywood," it was the Wild West setting for innumerable Western movies and is still a premier outdoor hub for today’s adventurers. Because grassroots engagement is key to making long-term societal change in the initiative A Bolder Way Forward (BWF), the Kane County Coalition Leaders amplify research-based efforts and bring the BWF message to every city, town, business, neighborhood, and family. The County Coalition is part of the BWF Five-County Regional Coalition including Beaver, Garfield, Iron, Kane, and Washington Counties. Since the “whole is greater than the sum of the parts,” we look at individuals and organizations currently doing the work in each area of focus (spoke) and elevate existing efforts. By lifting women and girls, we lift all residents.
When we understand the data, in addition to listening and responding to concerns regarding the needs of girls and women in Kane County, we will be better able to change harmful or ineffective policies and programs, continue effective action, support effective leaders, identify and solve local problems, and create responsive initiatives for Utah families.
