FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A	EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION GOAL: 68 PERCENT OF THE CHILDREN IN SHAWNEE COUNTY ENTERING KINDERGARTEN WILL HAVE THE PRE-LITERACY SKILLS NECESSARY FOR EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS 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 DON'T 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 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 A 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 A 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 MILLION WORDS AND HAVE BEEN READ TO ABOUT 25 HOURS. CHILDREN FROM MORE AFFLUENT HOMES HAVE HEARD ABOUT 45 MILLION WORDS AND HAVE BEEN READ TO 1,000 HOURS. UWGT CONTINUES TO SUPPORT EARLY EDUCATION WORK BY ESTABLISHING HIGH-QUALITY EARLY LEARNING PROGRAMS WITH 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 FOCUSES ON HOMES WITH CHIDLREN AGE 0-3 AND HELPS PARENTS UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE THEIR CHILDREN'S FIRST TEACHERS AND THAT LEARNING BEGINS FROM THE TIME A CHILD IS BORN. PARENTS AS TEACHERS 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. 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. CHILDREN WHO ARE NOT PROFICIENT IN READING BY 3RD GRADE HAVE ONLY A ONE-IN-THREE CHANCE OF BECOMING PROFICIENT BY SIXTH GRADE. ADDITIONALLY, AN ANALYSIS REVEALED THAT CHILDREN WHO ARE NOT PROFICIENT IN MATH BY SIXTH GRADE 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 PARTNERS WITH THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF TOPEKA AND THE YWCA TO PROVIDE QUALITY TUTORS TO AT-RISK CHILDREN AFTER SCHOOL. KANSAS CHILDREN'S SERVICE LEAGUE 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. 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: STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN UNITED WAY SPONSORED TUTORING AND SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS HAVE IMPROVED THEIR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE BY 72 PERCENT, IMPROVED THEIR SCHOOL ATTENDANCE BY 70 PERCENT AND 100 PERCENT HAVE ACCESS TO RECREATIONAL READING AND MATH OPPORTUNITIES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A	FINANCIAL STABILITY GOAL: IMPROVE THE FINANCIAL STABILITY OF FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS 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 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 STABLITY 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 BEEN ABLE TO BALANCE THEIR FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT AT LEAST $1,000 INTO SAVINGS. 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. HEALTH: EAT.MOVE.LIVE GOAL: TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF SHAWNEE COUNTY RESIDENTS BY PROVIDING ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD AND BEVERAGE CHOICES AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. A PERSON'S HEALTH PLAYS A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN BOTH THE LONGEVITY AND QUALITY OF ONES LIFE. INDIVIDUALS IN POVERTY ARE AT THE GREATEST RISK OF DEVELOPING SIGNIFICANT HEALTH ISSUES. BEING OVERWEIGHT CONTRIBUTES TO A LIST OF CHRONIC DISEASES INCLUDING HEART DISEASE, STROKE, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, DIABETES ALONG WITH CANCER. CHRONIC DISEASES ACCOUNT FOR 74 PERCENT OF AMERICA'S HEALTH CARE COSTS. TO BECOME OVERWEIGHT, PEOPLE CONSUME MORE CALORIES FROM FOOD THAN IS BURNED IN DAILY 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: 75 PERCENT OF PARTICIPANTS IN A COMMUNITY EXERCISE PROGRAM INCREASED THEIR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY WHILE 46 PERCENT INCREASED THEIR DAILY CONSUMPTION OF FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES AND 52 PERCENT DECREASED THEIR BMI. THIS SHOWS A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE AMONG SHAWNEE COUNTY RESIDENTS OF WHICH 46 PERCENT RECEIVE THE PROPER AMOUNT OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND 17 PERCENT CONSUME THE PROPER AMOUNT OF PRODUCE. BASIC NEEDS EMERGENCIES HAPPEN EVERY DAY IN EVERY ECONOMY; UNITED WAY REMAINS COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING BASIC NEEDS. PART OF UNITED WAY OF GREATER TOPEKA'S WORK IS TO ENSURE THAT THE BASIC NECESSITIES OF LIFE ARE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE IN NEED. WHETHER SOMEONE IS FACING HUNGER, ABUSE, FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES, OR OTHER SITUATIONS THAT PUT THEM AT RISK, SUPPORTIVE SERVICES PROVIDE ACCESS TO TEMPORARY RELIEF FROM IMMEDIATE OR IMPENDING CRISES. BASIC NEEDS IS AN ANNUAL GRANT PROCESS AND INCLUDES FOUR FOCUS AREAS:FOOD ASSISTANCE, RENT & UTILITY ASSISTANCE, SHELTER FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, AND ACCESS HEALTH CARE AND PRESCRIPTION ASSISTANCE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A	SUCCESSFUL CONNECTIONS SUCCESSFUL CONNECTIONS IS A PROGRAM OFFERING EXPECTANT PARENTS AND FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN ACCESS TO A WIDE ARRAY OF PROGRAMS AND SERVICES BASED ON THEIR SPECIFIC NEEDS. ASSESSMENT SPECIALISTS VISIT NEW MOMS AND FAMILIES IN THE HOSPITAL, IN THE HOME OR SEPARATELY TO IDENTIFY ANY NEEDS OR CONCERNS THAT THEY MAY HAVE. THE ASSESSMENT SPECIALIST THEN CONNECTS PREGNANT MOMS, NEW MOMS AND FAMILIES TO A HOME VISITATION PROGRAM THAT BEST FITS THEIR NEEDS AND/OR CONNECTS THEM WITH OTHER COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR IMMEDIATE CONCERNS. SUCCESSFUL CONNECTIONS COLLABORATES WITH ALL OF THE HOME VISITATION AGENCIES IN THE COUNTY TO BE A SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT FOR REFERRAL TO THOSE AGENCIES. THIS ALLOWS FOR ANYONE - WHETHER A PARENT, GRANDPARENT,CONCERNED INDIVIDUAL, DOCTOR, OR STAFF FROM ANOTHER AGENCY OR PROGRAM - TO MAKE ONE PHONE CALL TO GET THE FAMILY CONNECTED WITH THE APPROPRIATE HOME VISITATION SERVICE. SUCCESSFUL CONNECTIONS SERVES OVER 300 FAMILIES ANNUALLY. YOUNG LEADERS SOCIETY THE UWGT YOUNG LEADERS SOCIETY (YLS) IS A COMMITTEE GEARED TOWARD INDIVIDUALS UNDER 40 OR WHO ARE YOUNG AT HEART WHO WISH TO DIRECTLY IMPROVE THE LIVES OF OTHERS THROUGH GIVING AND VOLUNTEERING. ONE AREA OF FOCUS FOR YLS IS EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION WITH SUCH PROGRAMS AS JUNIOR LEADER READER IN WHICH VOLUNTEERS READ A BOOK TO KINDERGARTENERS IN PRIMARILY LOW-INCOME SCHOOLS AND THEN PROVIDE A COPY OF THE BOOK TO EACH CHILD TO TAKE HOME AND ENJOY WITH THEIR FAMILY. (60 PERCENT OF LOW-INCOME CHILDREN LIVE IN HOMES WITH NO BOOKS.) JUNIOR LEADER READER HAS PROVIDED ALMOST 30,000 CHILDREN'S BOOKS TO AREA KINDERGARTNERS SINCE 2010. IN 2014 YLS ALSO COMPLETED INSTALLATION OF A BORN LEARNING TRAIL BEHIND PINE RIDGE PREP PRESCHOOL.
