BRIGHT STARTS.
THRIVING FUTURES.

Chattanooga 2.0 seeks to improve economic opportunity and quality of life through system change in Chattanooga and Hamilton County, TN, and we believe education is the first step.

Our big bets

To achieve our community’s vision of a thriving and inclusive economy for all, Chattanooga 2.0 is working on three “Big Bets.” Our backbone team, in partnership with local organizations, is working on these levers to move us closer to our two-generational goals.

Early Childhood

Collaborating across and aligning sectors to ensure all children in our community have access to high-quality health, early education, and family support services.

Literacy

Help start a new chapter for literacy in Hamilton County at home, in school, and across the community.

Viable Pathways

From upper elementary school to high school to college or technical training to job placement, we aim to give students high-quality choices to educational success and a thriving wage.
