United Way 90by2020

When our youth succeed, our community succeeds. The goal is a 90% graduation rate by 2020.

THE SUCCESS OF OUR YOUTH RESTS WITH ALL OF US

Kids need excellent schools, strong families, and a supportive, caring community to help them make good choices, stay on track, and graduate on time. Each of us can help create that caring community. It’s as easy as 1,2,3. 

1. Start by watching the “Simple Things” video to learn about 10 simple, yet surprisingly meaningful, ways you can show youth they matter!

2. Now download the flyer listing the 10 Simple Things and keep it somewhere as a constant reminder of how easy it is to let youth know you care.

3. And finally, make and share your commitment to support Anchorage’s youth!

There are many more simple things you can do to support youth, wherever you may see them. – in your neighborhood, at your child’s school, or just passing on the sidewalk. We’ve been collecting some great ideas from community members like you on simple things they are doing to connect with youth. Click here to download the most current list!
