Beaufort County 360

Background

BC360 arose out of the development of a leadership team put together to provide guidance in implementation and monitoring of a Race to the Top grant obtained by a coalition of Beaufort County organizations and agencies. While the initial focus of this group was early childhood education, its mission has broadened to include finding optimal ways to address a number of issues that adversely affect the quality of life in the county. The coalition has also grown its membership to include organizations not part of the initial effort.

Vision

Building a user-friendly collaborative network to improve the quality of life for citizens of Beaufort County.

Scope & Focus Areas:

• Health: Promote active healthy living and increase access to integrated primary and behavioral healthcare
• Literacy: Provide literacy support and promote family literacy
• Unhoused: Ensure stable housing for all Beaufort County residents
