UNITED WAY OF GREATER
LOS ANGELES
United Way’s mission is to improve the quality of life for all in Greater Los Angeles by creating pathways out of poverty.
Poverty is all consuming. You can’t learn if you’re hungry and it’s hard to get a good job when you’ve dropped out of school. That’s why our new 10-year action plan focuses on the three greatest challenges facing our community:
- Basic Needs (health care, food and shelter, family safety): We believe all people should have access to the basic services they need to succeed in school and life.
- Education (middle school transition, high school graduation, parent engagement): We believe all young people should graduate from high school prepared for college and the workforce.
- Financial Stability (job training, financial literacy, family savings): We believe all working adults should have access to the economic and employment opportunities they need to provide for their families’ future.
Our ten goals for the next ten years include:
- Reduce number of homeless people by investing in solutions that result in individuals having access to permanent housing and needed services.
- Ensure 100% of children have access to health insurance by working at the state and federal levels to leverage funding and support.
- Ensure 75% of our nonprofit partners work together to provide integrated basic needs services for low-income families.
- Increase high school graduation rate to 75% by giving students the courses and support they need to graduate prepared for college and skilled for the workforce.
- Ensure 75% of at-risk students in United Way programs successfully transition from middle to high school.
- Ensure 90% of parents in United Way programs know how to improve their child’s performance at school and their options for college.
- Ensure 60% of students complete college prep courses by partnering with parents, youth, teachers and school districts.
- Increase income levels of 10,000 adults in United Way programs by training and placing them in good-paying jobs with career ladders.
- Increase skill levels of working age adults by supporting English and literacy programs, and recruiting volunteer teachers.
- Increase existing income supports by $4 million and double the number of people enrolled in United Way family savings programs that focus on financial literacy and building income.
