Thanks to over 350 donors, the Bright Futures Fund is reshaping education in Summit County. In collaboration with the Summit School District, we’re fueling the Future Ready Pathways Program—offering students hands-on learning in fields like construction, technology, healthcare, and natural resources.

“Support from Bright Futures has taken us from a single shared welding class to building a tiny home. Students are discovering skills and passions that will last a lifetime."

- -Oakley Van Oss, Careers in Construction teacher.

This program opens doors for students who might not thrive in traditional classrooms. Through internships, certifications, and real-world learning, students gain confidence, direction, and the ability to contribute to the local workforce. 

Bright Futures ensures students whether headed to work or college —have what they need to succeed.
