Organizational Background

In 2019 a strong public-private partnership of Jefferson County community leaders launched the Bright Futures Roadmap, a county-wide vision of improved outcomes for families with children prenatal to age eight. In 2022, these partners re-committed to the Bright Futures Roadmap and created Triad Bright Futures to serve as the Local Coordinating Organization (LCO) for Jefferson, Gilpin and Clear Creek counties. 

The work of Triad Bright Futures builds on the legacy of the LAUNCH Together Initiative, which established a shared understanding of the importance of early childhood social-emotional health and development and created a collaborative infrastructure that continues to support the progress of the Roadmap today.

At Triad Bright Futures, we recognize that the challenges facing young children and their families are complex and interconnected, and no single organization can solve them alone. Our mission is to partner with the community to advance quality, equitable early childhood experiences for all families.
