Launch Manistee Network
The Launch Manistee Network is a cradle to career education initiative designed to support students from early childhood to adulthood, and ultimately the economic prosperity of Manistee County. Through a collective impact framework, the Network seeks to establish and improve systems and pathways in our community that promote educational attainment and success.
The Manistee County Community Foundation coordinates the Launch Manistee Network as a community leadership initiative of the Foundation. A cross-sector Leadership Team made up of community stakeholders from early childhood education, K-12 education, higher education, government, philanthropy, and business and nonprofit partners guides the Networks strategic direction and sets its goals, priority areas, and metrics.
