How will the new direction guarantee a greater impact if UWEWH will be partnering with a smaller number of organizations?
UWEWH, in partnership with the national United Way system, seeks to invest its resources on innovative and best-practice oriented collaboratives that will enable UWEWH to more efficiently and effectively achieve community outcomes, measure its impact on community change, as well as bring more resources to bear on community problems within the next ten years. As a national system, we aim to develop collaboratives that will: • Education: Increase the number of children entering school on track with literacy, social, emotional and intellectual skills; boost the number of fourth-graders reading at grade level; and help more young adults transition from school to work, whether that’s college, training or a job • Income: Cut in half the number of lower-income families who are financially unstable. If we’re successful, by 2018 1.9 million working families will be on the road to economic independence. • Health: Increase by one-third the number of youth and adults who are healthy and avoid risk
