"United Way has done a good job at looking at nonprofits that
actually build character, actually prepare the future workforce,
actually involve the clients and the nonprofits in the ' Where do
we go from here? ' We did that collectively through the strategic
planning [work groups]. Every voice was heard. I think that if we are
going to make this work, United Way gave every nonprofit in that
room an opportunity to have a voice to share their experience,"
reflects Paulette Fox, Executive Director, Opportunities
Industrialization Center of New Britain, Inc., on her experience
participating in the young adult employment transportation
design workgroup.
Together, we can close gaps in child literacy, housing,
wages and life expectancy to create opportunities so
everyone succeeds. By focusing on these issues important to
community stakeholders, we can create the biggest impact to
best support everyone in the 860 region.
United Way is committed to keeping local experts and residents
engaged in our strategic plan by implementing collaborative,
transformational solutions.
