Earlier this year, United Way led the development of Bold Goals for our region. The Bold Goals builds on the Agenda for Community Impact by developing bold, but attainable goals in the areas of education (preparing children, youth, and young adults to succeed in school and life), income (ensuring individuals and families achieve financial sustainability), and health (helping individuals live quality lives & achieve maximum health and independence).
In addition, United Way has just launched a new Call for Investment process that will determine its investments in community and agency partners for the 2013-2015 time period. To support this process, and better understand the Bold Goal impact areas, United Way’s Research Council developed three short regional assessments that show, at a fairly high level, how things stand in our community in the three Bold Goal areas.
In this post, I’ll explore some of the data and highlights from the Regional Assessment for Education and the interconnections between the areas.
