About This Session

The Ages & Stages Series is a five-part cross-sector learning and action series that brings together partners across East King County to align resources, relationships, and influence around shared outcomes for children, youth, and families.

In this fourth session, executive and organizational leaders join Collaborative Action Network (CAN) members to review emerging strategies, assess feasibility, strengthen cross-organizational commitments, and identify the support needed to move from planning to implementation. Together, we will examine data, identify opportunities for collaboration, and determine where collective action can accelerate progress during the coming school year.

Participants will:

• Connect with leaders working across Early Learning, High School & Beyond, Mental Health & Wellbeing, and Equity.
• Explore current community and youth outcome data to better understand gaps and opportunities.
• Identify how their organization, programs, services, and influence can contribute to shared goals.
• Discuss barriers, needed supports, and implementation dependencies.
• Build cross-sector partnerships and commitments for the upcoming school year.
• Refine action plans that advance measurable outcomes for children and youth.
