Community Goals

3

Unite for Education

4

Education is the first step across the opportunity divide.Ready, set, learn!

Giving kids the skills to succeed in school sets them up for lifelong success and lays a foundation that will span generations to come.

Education is change that lasts!

Unite for Income

5

Poverty isn’t permanent. Too many children and their hardworking parents know too well what it’s like to live without.

Without food, a home, a job that offers advancement opportunities, without the knowledge that college is an option. Without opportunity.

6

Unite for Health

Better Health Leads to Better Lives.

Good health influences everything from how well a child is able to learn in the classroom to how much an adult is able to earn in the workplace.

Its effects truly last a lifetime.
