On Saturday, June 21, United Ways across the nation will host a Day of Action highlighting the importance of volunteering and demonstrating the power of communities working together to advance the common good in the areas of education, income and health.
United Way of Northeast Florida announced its local plans as part of this national call to action at a media conference held at Ft. Caroline Middle School on May 14. Through a partnership with the City of Jacksonville, the Jacksonville Children’s Commission, Duval County Public Schools, and the Mentor First Coast Task Force, United Way is launching a community mobilization effort to expand the network of volunteer mentors in schools on the First Coast. This innovative approach will focus on addressing the area’s high school drop out crisis.
