• Attainment of 20,000 (center-based and home-based) licensed child care slots in Monterey County.
• Addition of 2,500 childcare entrepreneurs and workers.
• Affordable childcare available to all families, targeting low-, moderate- and middle-income families so that none of these families pays more than 7% of their income.
• Increase in the percentage of children whose comprehensive and holistic needs have been met upon entering Kindergarten from 25% to 75%, as assessed by the School Systems Readiness Assessment.
• Creation of a new Career Hub at Hartnell College which will centralize “earn-as-you-learn” opportunities and provide career preparation for students across all disciplines and areas of the college.
• Increase of 20% in enrollment for students of color at Hartnell College. We also expect a 5% increase in persistence and graduation rates from non-White students in nursing programs.

• Expanded job opportunities for local youth, building on the momentum of regional aeronautics-related innovation.
• Increase in confidence and skills of high school students, elevating graduation rates, and enabling them to attain industry certifications, transition to post-secondary education/training/work opportunities, and become healthy contributing members of their community.
• Increased employment in existing and new businesses related to childcare, AgTech, nursing, and aeronautics with hundreds of local youth and retrained adults accessing high-road jobs.
• Expanded capacity for Civic Academies, Mujeres en Acción, Center for Community Advocacy, and other successful CBOs.
• More community member engagement in leadership development activities resulting in increased community agency and power to affect change.
