About this organization
Mission
United Way of New York City mobilizes our communities to break down barriers and create opportunities that improve the lives of low-income New Yorkers for the benefit of all.
About
Education: Attendance Improvement: United Way of New York City, in partnership with the New York City Office of Community Schools (OCS) and the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE), is improving the outcomes for students across our city who attend community schools. This is achieved by improving attendance and decreasing dropout rates. United Way supports 45 community schools (elementary, middle, and high) to transform them into neighborhood hubs where health care, food pantries, after-school programs, family engagement, and parent education classes are available directly on school campuses. All these efforts are aimed at helping youth reach the goal of on-time graduation, and preparing them for college or career. Grade-Level Reading: United Way of New York City's ReadNYC initiative is a collective impact approach that helps improve grade-level reading by third grade for children living in some of our most-challenged communities, while at the same time empowering their parents and caregivers to build more stable homes. By bringing together students, parents, teachers, schools, and communities, while offering classroom resources, culturally relevant curriculum, training for teachers and principals, and family supports for basic and emergency needs, United Way of New York City is coordinating every obstacle that factors into a child's ability to learn, and as a result is improving literacy outcomes for children.
