Graduating Our Future - Community Engagement

In the 83rd largest school system in the country and 4th largest in North Carolina, United Way of Forsyth County, Forsyth Futures, and Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools are working together to improve an already successful collaboration that is increasing student success. Led by United Way, this project will engage five VISTA members to improve our capacity through volunteer coordination, community engagement, resource development, and program evaluation. We are seeking individuals who want to be challenged and are committed to building their skill sets and working in team settings. By building these capacities, we will place more children on the path to graduation and life-long success.
