Who is getting this started?
It’s simple really. A few people of good will in the Wisconsin Driftless, led by John and Jamee Stanley, are inviting neighbors in Crawford and Vernon Counties to go on a journey to learn about our social fabric and the science of well-being. The hunch? More connections and insights will result in more engagement and clarity about what it takes to see more kids thrive, more parents succeed and more places flourish. They are extending an invitation to people of good will over 50 years old to join the Connected for Good Collective.
“Well architected platforms help people do what they already want to do.”
— Scott Beck, Founder, Gloo
Meet John and Jamee Stanley
Since 2002 they have been getting to know their rural neighborhood and became Northern Crawford County new settlers in 2018. Now deeply committed to the social fabric of the Driftless John and Jamee call on their outgoing nature, their faith, love of family and friends, and their experience building community to begin this journey to discover what it takes to help more kids thrive, more parents succeed and more places flourish.
