Students & Tutors Achieving Reading Success (STARS)

United Way California Capital Region is partnering with BookNook to provide virtual literacy tutoring to students in need of support. If kids aren’t reading at grade level by 4th grade, they will have a hard time keeping up across multiple subjects for years to come. Having a consistent positive adult role model, like a tutor, can improve children’s confidence and performance in all school subjects.

Population(s) Served

This group of dynamic women is dedicated to ensuring local foster youth are prepared for a successful transition to independence and ready for success in life. Women United members raise money for foster youth programs, lead life skills workshops and volunteer to make lasting change in Capital Region.

With more than 24 million unconnected households nationwide, the digital divide disproportionately affects minority and low-income populations. According to the Federal Communications Commission, 35 percent of adults who do not use broadband at home are older, poorer, less educated, more likely to be a racial or ethnic minority, and more likely to have a disability than those with a home connection.

United Way is working with community partners to offer:
1) Free hotspots (covered for a full year)
2) Free broadband for up to 200 people for a year (via Comcast Internet Essentials or AT&T low-cost internet plan)
3) Refurbished desktop and/or all-in-one computer
4) Digital literacy training and other important learning resources

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We have found one place in each community where we can reach the most families in need – school. School is Square One for ending family poverty because education is the great equalizer. It opens the door to jobs, resources and skills that help people not just survive, but thrive.

Our Square One approach provides a continuum of services aimed at ending poverty for local families, starting with education. From providing books to preschoolers for their own home library and kindergarten readiness for those who didn’t have the opportunity to attend preschool to a reading tutoring program for grade-schoolers and helping emancipated foster youth with financial literacy and support, your local United Way is dedicated to improving the opportunities for under-resourced children to ensure they have the educational foundation to succeed as adults.

Our Square One approach aims to end poverty in the Capital Region by:

1) Helping Kids Excel in School
2) Investing in Families
3) Strengthening Schools

United Way has dedicated staff working on each issue area, soliciting community input, reviewing research and consulting with experts in the field. United Way plays the unique and critical role of convening all of the stakeholders on a particular issue and identifying how we can leverage each other's work, investments, and skills to create a larger impact in the community. We also utilize evaluation and data collection tools data reporting system for our partners who are implementing programs. This allows us to review reports and monitor our investments in the community to ensure the greatest progress possible. Strong community partnerships with key stakeholders, government agencies, community-based organizations, nonprofit agencies, policymakers and the business community make it possible for United Way to lead or influence the success of social change solutions.
