ChangeUnited
Live United
Something happens when people come together, united in a common goal. We create a force for change, bigger and more powerful than any we could create alone.
We Strengthen the
Building Blocks of Opportunity.
Education, income and health form the foundation on which opportunity is built. When we strengthen these building blocks, we give everyone in our community the chance to be happy, healthy and reach for their dreams.
Together, we’ve created opportunity for more than one million North Texans this year. More of our students are graduating prepared for success at college or on the job, more local families are financially stable and more neighbors are living healthy lives.
Our Goals
Education
Our goal is to increase by 50% the number of students reading proficiently by third grade so that all North Texas students graduate prepared to succeed in college or a career.
Income
Every North Texan should have the skills and tools they need to achieve financial stability. Our goal is to increase by 20% the number of young adults in North Texas who earn a living wage.
Health
All of our neighbors should have access to physical and mental health care to live long, healthy lives. Our goal is to increase to 96% the number of North Texans with access to affordable health care coverage.
