United Way donors believe that the situation you’re born into shouldn’t determine your future. For more than 4,000 young people in Windsor Essex who are part of a low income family, research shows that they will not escape poverty in their lifetime. We think that’s not acceptable.
That’s why we’re focusing on providing local supports and opportunities for young people to build a better future for themselves. The ON TRACK TO SUCCESS program offers supports that wrap around a family and help kids graduate high school and go on to post-secondary education – the clearest pathway to a life of prosperity.
A student from a low income family has a 38% likelihood of attending college or university whereas a student from a higher income family has a 63% chance of attending post-secondary education*. On Track to Success is a direct intervention to change the odds for students in need
Students enrolled in the On Track program will have the chance to earn up to $4,000 for post-secondary education, as well as access to services including tutoring, social and recreational activities, chances to volunteer in the community, career building and mentoring opportunities, and individualized support
The program is currently in its fourth year and now supports 125 students in grades 9-12 at both the Leamington and West Windsor sites.
One of the best ways you can help the On Track To Success Program succeed is by donating to the cause by clicking here and making a donation. All of the money donated will go to United Way and the On Track To Success Program.
If you are unable to donate then we urge you to consider volunteering and lending a hand to those in need so that they may still reach their goal. You can do this by clicking here and being re-directed to the official United Way website for more inforation.
Our goal is to help contribute at least $1,000 in their ultimate goal of $40,000. In order to do this we need your help. We hope you do the right thing. Thank you.
