We are again partnering with our friends at The Ali Center in a service event celebrating the champ's birthday called, The Greatest Give Back! Although we can’t volunteer in person this year to give back, we have created several ways for you and your family to participate virtually to “TKO” the need in our community!
The importance of education is something we’re all familiar with. Kids who graduate and continue on a path of lifelong learning experience more success. It’s that simple. Now let’s make it happen.
Students only spend 20% of their lives in school, so it’s important that learning continues outside of the classroom. By establishing a system that helps steer local students toward high-quality out-of-school time programs, Metro United Way hopes to provide a stronger educational foundation to help decrease the high school drop-out rate and increase the pursuit of college degrees, thus benefitting the entire community in the long run.
