Bolder Way Forward for Utah

Wasatch County

BWF logo

The rugged beauty of Mount Timpanogos overlooking Heber Valley, the green meadows, the streams, the heritage and rural character of the community and the challenges and changes as it grows define Wasatch County. Because grassroots engagement is key to making long-term societal change in the initiative A Bolder Way Forward (BWF), the Wasatch 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. 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 Wasatch 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.
