Bright Futures—Frederick/Winchester is a non-profit organization that helps schools connect student needs with resources that already exist in the community. The Bright Futures framework brings together businesses, human service agencies, faith-based organizations, and parent groups and partners them with schools in a way that helps them quickly and efficiently meet the needs of students and schools.
Bright Futures—Frederick/Winchester’s strategic plan 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.
