Best Starts for Kids Innovation Fund - Project Update
The Eastside Pathways Early Learning Facilitators project team presented their project alongside the other grant recipients at the King County BSK Innovation Fund gallery walk.

Think Tanks
Eastside Pathways recently convened two think tanks—one race-based and one for diverse abilities—to give the community the opportunity to voice opinions anonymously, helping them share safely deeply personal content.

Pizza with a Purpose
Nearly 50 students from Interlake High School connected with career professionals over a pizza lunch. The professionals shared personal stories and advice. The overwhelming message was encouragement for the students to follow their dreams and passions.

Strategic Planning - An Update
In early April our strategic planning retreat team of about 25 worked for two days with facilitators from StriveTogether to identify areas of need and possible alignment.

All Partner/All Collaborative Convening
More than 50 individuals from our partner organizations convened on April 26 at Westminster Chapel in Bellevue. The convening provided a chance for partners, especially those working at the collaborative level, to find out more about our strategic planning process, discuss insights, and build connections between goals being considered, their work, and each other.
