What every parent says to their child when they graduate high school….

 

As a parent, what would you say to your 18 year old graduating high school?

  • Congratulations!
  • Enjoy your college experience…
  • The next few years of your life are your defining years….

These and many more sentiments might be true for you and your young adult, but what about the many young adults “aging out” of Connecticut’s foster care system with no parent figure, no family, no plans for college and no idea about their “defining years”?

Boost! Pilot Program has Started in School

As the days of August draw to a close, the energy that accompanies the beginning of a new school year feels palpable.  Here at United Way, we’ve spent all summer “in school,” working hard on the Boost! partnership, one of the components of the School Change Initiative in New Haven. 

United Way and Harwood Institute Team Up!

 United Way of Greater New Haven is collaborating with the Harwood Institute to accelerate our efforts to create results in education. Harwood is United Way’ World Wide's signature partner for both their education mobilization groups and The Campaign for the Common Good.

There are some tremendous examples of what The Harwood Institute has done for other large national organizations like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. If we can replicate what they have done for them at some level then we will be in really good shape.
-Stacey Stewart, Executive Vice President, United Way Worldwide
