Lake County’s Smart Start | Bright Future initiative is a four-pillar transformative plan that supports youth located on the south shore of Clear Lake from cradle to career and beyond! Read about the four pillars below.
Created in partnership with First 5 Lake County, this free online tool will help parents and caregivers of children identify a list of services and programs that their children are likely eligible for in Lake County and helps connect parents with the services they're interested in.
Smart Start Family Navigator
Courtney Parker High at the Lake Family Resource Center will help expectant mothers and new parents navigate through the many supports and resources that are available to them in Lake County. She’s here to make sure your child gets the best start possible. Visit the Lake Family Resource Center webpage.
Courtney can be reached at (707) 279-0563 ext. 204 or courtneyph@lakefrc.org. You can also fill out a survey to get connected to the Navigator.
Smart Start After-School Hub
Lake County’s first partner driven after-school hub is designed to provide in-depth, enriching experiences for the youth of Burns Valley Elementary School in Clearlake, California. These programs will keep kids safe and inspire them to learn.
California’s leading college success nonprofit, 10,000 degrees™ helps students from low-income backgrounds get to and through college. The program will launch in the fall of 2022 at Lower Lake High School.
For more information, visit the 10,000 degrees website.
