JWB seeks to ensure positive development and well-being of all children and families in Pinellas County through the prudent investment in solutions that work. More than 9 months ago, JWB embarked on a collaborative process with our Board, staff, agency representatives and other critical community stakeholders – particularly our Community Councils – to identify our priority areas.  This intensive process culminated at the St. Petersburg College Collaborate Labs, where the most productive investments were determined.  As a result, the 3 JWB
Priority Areas were defined:

 -- Children Not Ready for School
 -- Children Not Successful in School
