Millard County

Established in 1851, Millard County is home to the first territorial capital. With a population of approximately 13,500, the county is an energy hub for Utah with solar, wind, and geothermal resources. Its diverse landscapes, ranging from mountain ranges to sand dunes and desert, make it a great place to live and explore. Because grassroots engagement is key to making long-term societal change in the initiative A Bolder Way Forward (BWF), the Millard County 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 Six County Regional Coalition including Juab, Millard, Piute, Sanpete, Sevier, and Wayne 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 Millard 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.
