Summit County

Summit County is a vital community that is renowned for its natural beauty, quality of life, and economic diversity, that supports a healthy, prosperous, and culturally-diverse citizenry. A top tourist destination, Summit County is home to 42,000 people with talents, needs and challenges. Because grassroots engagement is key to making long-term societal change in the initiative A Bolder Way Forward (BWF), the Summit County Coalition amplifies research-based efforts and brings the BWF message to every city, town, business, neighborhood, and family.  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. The coalition works to facilitate communication, resource sharing, and new initiatives or programs as needed and connect Summit County with statewide 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 Summit 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.
