Bright
Futures provides a path for communities to engage everyone in a collective
movement to develop relationships and channel resources supporting education
and enabling children to achieve success. Bright Futures Little Rock
works within the Little Rock School District to connect student needs with
existing community resources. The Bright Futures model brings together
businesses, human service agencies, faith-based organizations, and parent
groups and partners them with schools in a way that helps them to quickly and
efficiently meet students’ basic needs – often within 24 hours. Bright Futures will also assist students that have
chronic absenteeism by providing wrap around services to help improve
attendance. This enables students and teachers to focus on
education and achieving success.
Bright
Futures Little Rock works to create an environment where education is valued
and responsibility for student success is shared. Bright Futures operates under
the belief that when a community invests its time, talent, and treasure into
its schools, students are more likely to stay in school through graduation,
have a higher degree of self-worth and confidence, and set and reach goals for
the future. In turn, these students grow up to be better neighbors, quality employees,
and leaders who impact their communities.
