Building Bright Futures

Building Bright Futures Building Bright Futures (BBF) is a nonprofit organization working to improve the wellbeing of young children and families in Vermont.

As a 501c3 nonprofit charitable organization appointed through Act 104, BBF has legislative authority to monitor, improve, and advocate for Vermont’s youth and families across a variety of industries such as healthcare, childcare, and education. We do this through three program areas:

Community: Providing Vermonters with a platform to share their voice through 12 Regional Councils; each represent

ing a Vermont community and its unique needs. Data: Compiling relevant data on Vermont’s children and families through BBF’s Vermont Insights program. Policy: Improving laws and policies that impact the lives of Vermont’s children and families. Our goal is to align community action with state policy. Vermonters’ voices directly contribute to state policy by allowing us to make informed improvements in access, quality, and equity of early care, health, and education for families and young children ages 0-8.

🏔️ Four years ago TODAY, Randy Crossman stood at the summit of Pico Mountain for the 365th time and said proudly, "The best investment we can make is in our kids." That day he completed an extraordinary journey: 365 summits of Pico Mountain in one year, raising over $18,000 for Vermont's youngest children through the nonprofit, Building Bright Futures, led by his daughter, Dr. Morgan K. Crossman. 🏔️💚

Four years later, Building Bright Futures honors Randy’s extraordinary journey of love in every piece of data we publish, every family we support, and every advocate in our network fighting for Vermont's children.

Early educators in Vermont do deeply meaningful, emotionally demanding work — yet many experience high levels of burnout. That burnout is closely connected to low compensation and challenging working conditions, underscoring the need to better value the profession.
