Historic Multi-Year Investments Will Be Made into Community-Driven Root Cause Interventions, Led by Impacted People
Metro United Way announces the call for applications from Black-led social change nonprofit and advocacy organizations to support its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, addressing how inequities unfairly restrict individuals and communities in terms of access, opportunity and resources.
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.
