Bolder Way Forward for Utah

Carbon County Coalition                                                                                  A Bolder Way Forward Logo 

Carbon County is unique due to our history of coal mining and the unique beauty of the area. Because grassroots is key to long-term societal change in the Bolder Way Forward Framework, the Carbon County Coalition strives to bring the BWF message to every city, town, business, neighborhood, and family within the county. Since the “whole is greater than the sum of the parts,” the Coalition looks at who is currently doing the work in each spoke, or focus area, and what programs and efforts already support women and families in Carbon County. The co-leads, Executive Leadership Team, and members facilitate communication, resource sharing, and new initiatives or programs as needed and connect Carbon County with statewide efforts. By lifting women and girls in our county, we lift all residents.
