Where Business Meets Community
Youth without supportive adult relationships are 94% more likely to have negative developmental outcomes at the end of high school. Yet only 50% of Massachusetts youth feel they have a non-parent adult they can talk to outside of school. Through our Business Meets Community Initiative United Way will work with your company to mobilize volunteers to make a difference for youth.
