FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 WE CREATE POSITIVE, SUSTAINABLE CHANGE IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE WORK TO SOLVE ISSUES NO SINGLE DONOR, CHARITY, OR GOVERNMENT AGENCY CAN HANDLE ALONE. BY FOCUSING ON EDUCATION, INCOME, AND HEALTH, WE HELP MORE CHILDREN GRADUATE AND GET STABLE JOBS, HELP FAMILIES BECOME FINANCIALLY STABLE AND IMPROVE THE OVERALL HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION GOAL: 68 PERCENT OF THE CHILDREN WHO START KINDERGARTEN WILL HAVE THE PRE-LITERACY SKILLS FOR SUCCESS IN SCHOOL (THIS IS AN INCREASE OF 50 PERCENT FROM PRESENT LEVELS). SITUATION SYNOPSIS: ON AVERAGE, 55 PERCENT OF CHILDREN ENTERING KINDERGARTEN IN SHAWNEE COUNTY DO NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY PRE-LITERACY SKILLS TO START THE LEARNING PROCESS. CHILDREN WHO LACK THESE CRITICAL SKILLS WILL HAVE A HARD TIME CATCHING UP TO THEIR PEERS. FOR EVERY 50 CHILDREN WHO DO NOT LEARN TO READ IN KINDERGARTEN, 44 WILL STILL BE BELOW GRADE-LEVEL IN 3RD GRADE. CHILDREN WITH BELOW-GRADE SKILLS BY 3RD GRADE ARE UNLIKELY TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL. ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF OUR COMMUNITY IMPACT WORK IS THE PINE RIDGE PARTNERSHIP INVOLVING TOPEKA AREA HOUSING AUTHORITY, UNITED WAY, PARENTS AS TEACHERS, TOPEKA PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. THE PARTNERSHIP HAS TRANSFORMED A COMMUNITY WHICH WAS ONCE SO DANGEROUS THAT FAMILIES FEARED GOING OUTSIDE AND TO WHICH PIZZA DELIVERY DRIVERS WOULD NOT GO. TODAY, THANKS TO THE PRESENCE OF A PRESCHOOL (WHICH HAS HELPED DRIVE AWAY DRUG ACTIVITY AS DRUG DEALERS ARE FINED DOUBLE IF CAUGHT NEAR SCHOOL) SUPPORTED BY UNITED WAY, THE COMMUNITY NOW FEELS MUCH SAFER. FAMILIES ARE TRICK OR TREATING,BUILDING SNOWMEN FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND THEY CAN ORDER PIZZA DELIVERED TO THEIR DOOR. CHILDREN LIVING IN POVERTY ARE MORE LIKELY TO START BEHIND THAN THEIR MORE AFFLUENT PEERS. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT BY THE TIME THEY ARE FOUR YEARS OLD, CHILDREN LIVING IN POVERTY HAVE HEARD ABOUT 13,000 WORDS AND HAVE BEEN READ TO ABOUT 25 HOURS. CHILDREN FROM MORE AFFLUENT HOMES HAVE HEARD ABOUT 45,000 WORDS AND HAVE BEEN READ TO ABOUT 1,000 HOURS. UWGT HAS BEGUN ITS EARLY EDUCATION WORK BY ESTABLISHING HIGH QUALITY EARLY LEARNING PROGRAMS WITH THE PRE-LITERACY COMPONENTS SERVING CHILDREN IN THE PINE RIDGE ZIP CODE AREAS. PINE RIDGE IS A TOPEKA HOUSING AUTHORITY PROPERTY. CHILDREN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FACE MULTIPLE OBSTACLES TO BEING ABLE TO SUCCEED IN SCHOOL. PARENTS AS TEACHERS (PAT) FOCUSES ON HOMES WITH CHILDREN AGE 0-2 AND HELPS PARENTS UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE THEIR CHILDREN'S FIRST TEACHERS AND THAT LEARNING BEGINS FROM THE TIME A CHILD IS BORN. PAT HELPS MODEL FOR PARENTS HOW TO READ TO THEIR CHILDREN, FOR EXAMPLE. A PRESCHOOL ESTABLISHED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS DOUBLED IN SIZE AND NOW HAS A WAITING LIST OF CHILDREN WHOSE PARENTS WOULD LIKE TO ENROLL. ON AVERAGE, THE CHILDREN ENTERED THE SCHOOL SCORING IN THE 20TH PERCENTILE ON A LITERACY ASSESSMENT. BY THE END OF THE FIRST YEAR, NEARLY ALL OF THE CHILDREN SCORED FROM THE 85TH TO 100TH PERCENTILE. WITHOUT THE PRESCHOOL, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PREPARED TO SUCCEED IN KINDERGARTEN. EXPLANATION: ON-GRADE ACHIEVEMENT GOAL: BY 2021, 81% OF LOW SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS THIRD GRADE STUDENTS WILL BE ON GRADE LEVEL IN READING AND 81% OF LOW SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS SIXTH GRADE STUDENTS WILL BE ON GRADE LEVEL IN MATH.(THIS IS A 50% REDUCTION IN THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP IN SHAWNEE COUNTY.) UWGT'S FOCUS IS ON KEEPING KIDS ON TRACK AS THEY MOVE THROUGH ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL. ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT RISK FACTORS IS LOW SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS. IF A CHILD IN TOPEKA IS NOT PROFICIENT IN READING BY 3RD GRADE, THEY HAVE ONLY A ONE-IN-THREE CHANCE OF BECOMING PROFICIENT BY SIXTH GRADE. ADDITIONALLY, AN ANALYSIS REVEALED THAT IF A CHILD IN TOPEKA IS NOT PROFICIENT IN MATH BY SIXTH GRADE, THEY HAVE ONLY A ONE-IN-FOUR CHANCE OF BECOMING PROFICIENT BY 8TH GRADE. FAILURES IN SIXTH GRADE CAN BE USED TO IDENTIFY 60 PERCENT OF THE STUDENTS WHO WILL NOT GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL. UWGT EMPLOYS MENTORING, TUTORING, SUMMER ENRICHMENT AND TRUANCY PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD PROFESSIONALS TO HELP STUDENTS KEEP PACE WITH THEIR PEERS SO THEY CAN GRADUATE ON TIME. UWGT PARTNERS WITH BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS TO PROVIDE MENTORING ONCE A WEEK DURING STUDENTS' LUNCH HOURS. WE PARTNER WITH THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF TOPEKA AND THE YMCA TO PROVIDE QUALITY TUTORS TO AT-RISK CHILDREN AFTER SCHOOL. COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS IDENTIFIES ISSUES RANGING FROM HUNGER AND WARM WINTER CLOTHES TO BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS AND FAMILY ISSUES AND HELPS CONNECT STUDENTS AND FAMILIES TO CRITICAL COMMUNITY RESOURCES TO HELP OVERCOME THESE OBSTACLES TO SUCCESS IN SCHOOL. THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB ALSO PROVIDES A HIGH-QUALITY SUMMER PROGRAM WITH VARIED EXPERIENCES TO HELP STUDENTS LEARN MORE ABOUT THEIR COMMUNITY AND IMPROVE THEIR VOCABULARY. RESULTS: 84.4 PERCENT OF STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN UNITED WAY SPONSORED MENTORING, TUTORING AND SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS HAVE IMPROVED THEIR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A FINANCIAL STABILITY GOAL: TO REDUCE BY 50 PERCENT THE NUMBER OF FINANCIALLY UNSTABLE FAMILIES IN SHAWNEE COUNTY. UWGT WORKS WITH LOW-INCOME WORKING FAMILIES TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE THE FINANCIAL LITERACY TO BUDGET AND MANAGE THEIR FINANCES SO THAT THEY CAN KEEP MORE OF THE MONEY THEY EARN, PAY DOWN DEBT AND SAVE MONEY. WE ALSO WORK TO HELP INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES THAT MAY BE WORKING TWO OR THREE JOBS TO MAKE ENDS MEET TO OBTAIN TRAINING FOR HIGHER-PAYING JOBS THAT CAN SUSTAIN A FAMILY. INCREASING THE FINANCIAL STABILITY OF FAMILIES ULTIMATELY CREATES A STRONGER, MORE PRODUCTIVE, CRISIS-RESISTANT WORKFORCE AND COMMUNITIES THAT ARE MORE PROSPEROUS BECAUSE OF INCREASED EMPLOYMENT AND HOME OWNERSHIP. OUR FINANCIAL STABILITY STRATEGY INCLUDES PROVIDING EVIDENCE-BASED, ONE-ON-ONE COUNSELING BY CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERS, AS WELL AS, MATCHING FINANCIAL STABILITY CLIENTS WITH MENTORS WHO HELP THEM STAY ON TRACK. IT ALSO INCLUDES A JOBS PROGRAM PARTNERING WITH VARIOUS EDUCATIONAL AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRAINING AND EVENTUAL EMPLOYMENT IN TRADES, TECHNOLOGY, THE MEDICAL FIELD AND MORE BY HELPING REMOVE SUCH BARRIERS AS TUITION AND FEES, AND CHILD CARE. RESULTS : 96 PERCENT OF FAMILIES INVOLVED IN THE FINANCIAL STABILITY PROGRAM HAVE BECOME FINANCIALLY STABLE. THE JOBS PROGRAM HAS HELPED PEOPLE TRAIN AND SECURE JOBS THAT WILL SUPPORT A FAMILY. SOME FINANCIAL STABLITY PROGRAM CLIENTS HAVE REFINANCED HOME MORTGAGES OR ARE PURCHASING HOMES - A LIFELONG DREAM FOR SOME. EXPLANATION: HEALTH/SUBSTANCE ABUSE GOAL: REDUCE BY 20 PERCENT THE NUMBER OF 6TH THROUGH 12TH GRADERS THAT ILLEGALLY USE SUBSTANCES (CIGARETTES, MARIJUANA, AND ALCOHOL). HEALTH: SUBSTANCE ABUSE DRUG USE CAN BE DETRIMENTAL TO EVERY ASPECT OF A CHILD'S LIFE RESULTING IN LONG-LASTING EFFECTS INCLUDING PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS, LEARNING DIFFICULTIES, DAMAGE TO RELATIONSHIPS, AND ENDLESS OTHER CONSEQUENCES. SPECIFICALLY, YOUTH WHO USE ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, AND MARIJUANA ARE NEGATIVELY IMPACTING THEIR DEVELOPING BRAIN AND THEIR JUDGMENT AND DECISION-MAKING SKILLS. UNITED WAY WORKS WITH PARTNERS TO SEE THAT YOUTH ARE EDUCATED,ENGAGED, AND SUPPORTED IN THEIR EFFORTS TO KEEP THEMSELVES AND THEIR PEERS ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, AND DRUG FREE. RESULT: DUE TO COMMUNITY-WIDE EFFORTS EXTENDING BEYOND UWGT'S OWN EFFORTS, OUR COMMUNITY HAS REALIZED ALMOST A 40 PERCENT REDUCTION IN TEENS USING TOBACCO AND A 19 PERCENT REDUCTION IN TEENS USING ALCOHOL. HEALTH: OBESITY REDUCTION GOAL: REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ADULTS WHO ARE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE BY 10 PERCENT. BEING OBESE AND OVERWEIGHT HAS MANY CONSEQUENCES FOR INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, AND THE COMMUNITY. OBESITY CONTRIBUTES TO A LIST OF CHRONIC DISEASES INCLUDING HEART DISEASE, STROKE, HIGH BLOOK PRESSURE, DIABETES, ALONG WITH CANCER. CHRONIC DISEASES ACCOUNT FOR 74 PERCENT OF AMERICA'S HEALTH CARE COSTS. OBESITY RESULTS WHEN PEOPLE CONSUME MORE CALORIES FROM FOOD THAN THEY BURN DAILY DURING PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES. TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT WE NEED TO BALANCE THE ENERGY WE EAT WITH THE ENERGY WE USE. STRATEGY: PROMOTE AND SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HEALTHY FOOD AND BEVERAGE CHOICES AND FACILITATE, SUPPORT, AND ENCOURAGE INCREASED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. RESULT: 66 PERCENT OF PARTICIPANTS IN A COMMUNITY EXERCISE PROGRAM WITH A NUTRITION COMPONENT LOST WEIGHT AND MAINTAINED THEIR WEIGHT LOSS.
