| “By helping families lift themselves out of poverty, keeping them from falling into it, and addressing the needs of their young children, work supports like quality childcare play a powerful role in improving our children’s well-being.” As referenced in a recent Denver Business Journal Article, child poverty has increased 85% in Colorado between 2000 and 2007. This sobering statistic and many others have just been released in the 2009 Kids Count in Colorado report by the Colorado Children’s Campaign. Mile High United Way’s three initiatives, School Readiness, Youth Success and Adult Self Sufficiency, address many of the core issues highlighted in the report. From quality childcare, to enriching after-school programs to educational and job-training assistance, Mile High United Way can improve the lives of people in all stages of their lives. Through our partner agencies and initiatives and with your help, we can change these statistics.
