We Work Better Together

The Institute of Emerging Issues and NC Better2Gether team housed at NC State University is officially calling today TwosDay, in honor of today’s date: 2/22/22. To commemorate this day, NC Better 2Gether is celebrating 22 people who work in communities to solve problems that hold us back and to build support for ideas that move us forward —making NC a more vibrant and prosperous state.  Among them is our very own Sarah Glover, manager of UWGG’s nationally recognized Family Success Centers.

Sarah says “Our United Way is building partnerships and models to improve economic mobility in our community. The program model I manage is “Family Success Centers” where we work with families to smooth the path for them to meet their educational, career, financial, and wellness goals and so break the cycle of poverty one household at a time.”

NC Better2Gether asked Sarah how we can make North Carolina a more vibrant and prosperous state, and she answered “I believe my home state will be more vibrant and prosperous when we figure out how to make child care affordable and available for all working families and pay early care and education teachers a family-sustaining wage.”

We couldn’t agree with her more.

Join us in congratulating Sarah for this wonderful accomplishment!
