Because of your belief and support of a community united, we continue to work to ensure that every child enters school ready to learn and is reading at grade level by the end of third grade; every young person graduates from high school prepared for work or college; and every individual and family has the opportunity to progress toward economic stability.

DEAR FRIENDS,A Community United! For 127 years, Mile High United Way has stood at the crossroads of our community. This past year was no exception – through horrific floods to the raising of a new community hub – volunteers, donors, business leaders, service providers, communities of faith, school districts and policymakers united with the single vision to create better opportunities for all, and the impact was measurable.

Between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014, together, we served nearly 400,000 people through our Mile High United Way programs including Bridging the Gap, Colorado Reading Corps, our 2-1-1 information and referral center and in partnership with our 119 Impact Investment Partners.

United we:

• Led critical discussions regarding the educational outcomes of youth in foster care, resulting in the first-ever data sharing agreement between the Colorado Department of Education and the Colorado Department of Human Services.

• Launched The Performance Collaborative, a rigorous program that strengthens nonprofit organizations’ abilities to collect and evaluate data to improve the effectiveness of their programs.

• Built the new Mile High United Way Morgridge Center for Community Change, a mission-based community hub in the historic Curtis Park Neighborhood, without taking any funds from our community campaign.

• Opened two Centers for Family Opportunities bringing together best-in-class resources in a centralized location, each tailored to meet the specific needs of their communities.

• Looked to the future by bringing together the business, nonprofit and education communities to identify the opportunities for strengthening the connection between education and workforce.

And so much more.

Because of your belief and support of a community united, we continue to work to ensure that every child enters school ready to learn and is reading at grade level by the end of third grade; every young person graduates from high school prepared for work or college; and every individual and family has the opportunity to progress toward economic stability. And we could not be more grateful.

Please come visit us in our new home, have a great lunch in Café United and see what it means to Live United.

Warmest regards,

Christine Benero and Brian Jackson

President and CEO, Mile High United Way

2013-2014 Board Chair, Mile High United Way

1,296 K-3rd grade students were served in 26 schools in Jefferson County, Aurora and Adams 12 Five Star Schools.

Nine partners delivered services to children from birth to eight years old. 4,888 children served improving literacy and pre-literacy skills through home visitations, training for teachers and caregivers, summer programs and tutoring.

Family, Friend & Neighbor (FFN)

Mile High United Way supports a network of early childhood advocates – the Family, Friend & Neighbor Learning Community – working to ensure that starting from birth, children are provided the opportunities to thrive and build essential pre-literacy skills.

56% of children in Colorado under six years old, whose parents work, are in an informal care setting,* often in the care of their family, friends or neighbors.

The FFN Learning Community was formed based on an identified need to provide these caregivers of young children in informal settings the opportunities to increase their access and knowledge about child development, education and resources.

OUR IMPACT

Our Colorado Reading Corps children are growing and blossoming knowing they can read. They are walking taller and smiling more with the confidence. Barbara, Mile High United Way Colorado Reading Corps member, 2012 - present

Barbara is a dedicated Mile High United Way Colorado Reading Corps member who wants to help children understand the importance of being able to read. As a retired teacher, she knows the value of reading and tells her students that reading can take them on many journeys and to places they may never have imagined. Last school year, she worked one-on-one with several K-3rd grade students at Peck Elementary to improve their literacy skills and build their confidence.

Without Bridging the Gap I never would have thought I could impact the community the way I feel like I’m doing now. I feel so empowered.Thomas, Mile High United Way Bridging the Gap participant

Thomas aged out of the foster care system without the resources or skills he needed to support himself. He was living on the streets and frequently getting into trouble with the law. But he wanted to do more with his life. Mile High United Way’s Bridging the Gap program helped Thomas get into safe and stable housing and provided him with the support and resources he needed to go to college and attain an internship. Today he is working, in school and on the path to success.

Thank you Mile High United Way for not only giving me my name back, but giving me self-purpose and the will to want to live and be a good person and help others. Michael, former homeless veteran

Michael, an Air Force veteran, was living on the streets for 20 years. He was addicted to alcohol and known only by the name “Alabama.” He had lost all hope until Mile High United Way connected him to services that helped him get sober and back on his feet. Today, he has safe and stable housing and is working to help other military vets deal with addiction and mental illness.
