AmeriCorps VISTA Leader-UWCSRA
 
 
 
Project Unite is committed to helping students who face significant barriers to success—whether they enter kindergarten unprepared, advance through school without foundational readiness, live in poverty, or struggle with challenges like food insecurity. Recognizing that academic achievement is deeply connected to a child’s environment and well-being, the program provides comprehensive, wraparound support to meet students’ full range of needs. By targeting A.L.I.C.E. families (Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed) across the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA), the program fights poverty by working to expand access to critical services and opportunities. It brings together students, families, schools, and community partners in a coordinated effort to improve students’ socioemotional health, academic performance, and long-term outcomes. It brings together students, families, schools, and community partners in a coordinated effort to improve students’ socioemotional health, academic performance, and long-term outcomes. Ultimately, the Wraparound Support Program empowers students to thrive—both in school and beyond—by fostering stability, resilience, and a smoother transition to post-secondary life through a holistic, community-based approach.
