Voices. Choices. Needs Assessment

United Way creates dialogue around issues in our community and builds networks of people to spark community change.

From August 2009 through February 2010 United Way organized and led our community's second comprehensive needs assessment called Voices. Choices. Greensboro's Human Services Study. The study was a way for the Greensboro community to set common goals and strategies around the human service issues that matter most. 1,746 voices were heard from the study, breathing life into four priorities:

• Improving the Financial Stability of Individuals and Families
• Access to Comprehensive Health Care Services
• Successful School Experiences for Every Child
• Nurturing Children and Youth for Positive Development

In response, United Way will align its focus to support these new priorities. Community task forces are working to develop strategies in each of the four areas.
