Our Work

In addition to safe, affordable care in a nurturing environment, 58% of Pre-K – 7th grade students that receive UCC’s individualized literacy instruction achieve on grade reading levels (compared to 45% state average). This is meaningful to long term success as students who don’t master basic reading skills by 3rd grade are six times more likely to not finish high school.

 

UCC’s family resources include education sessions that focus on financial literacy, workforce skills, job placement, and parent empowerment. Additionally, centers offer seasonal programs such as free tax preparation, financial literacy courses, access to free school supplies, and holiday meals.

 

UCC’s pantry and center grocery distribution provide groceries to over 24,000 families annually who would otherwise go hungry in our own city.
