ABOUT US

What is Bright Futures Frederick/Winchester?

Vision Statement

Inspiring community partnerships that open a way for all children to learn, lead, and serve to their full potential now and in the future.

Mission Statement

Together…committing all that we are to enrich the life of a child.

Bright Futures Frederick/Winchester 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, this inspires students to become better neighbors, quality employees, and impactful leaders in their communities.

Bright Futures Frederick/Winchester has a strategic plan that centers on three critical objectives: to increase the amount of time the community provides for the needs of the children, to foster an environment where the community lends its talents, and to collect and apply treasures to address unmet needs.
