The Cabinet seeks to create a cross-sector collaborative governance that:
- Ensures that all children enter kindergarten prepared to learn and succeed.

- Improves high-school graduation rates and college preparedness.
- Ensures high-school graduates and disconnected youth have pathways to postsecondary education and workforce training options.
- Develops and implement educational and workforce training initiatives that supports economic development.
- Designs, proposes, and recommends alternative policies (both state and local) to meet the intended outcomes of CYFCC.
- Aligns and seeks appropriate funding through local, state, and national partners.
