UNITED WAY OF THE RIVER CITIES INC

Uwrc's education initiative is a community collaboration that works on a continuum to ensure that children succeed. Early childhood efforts focus on early brain development and preparing children for kindergarten through the programs like the brain under construction zone, community baby showers, and born learning trails. United career launch is an internship program for high school students where students are transported to various work sites to participate in paid internships. Guest speakers also visit the school to discuss potential careers and provide financial education on basics like opening a checking account and managing money.
