Family Forward NC® is an innovative initiative to improve children’s health and well-being and keep North Carolina’s businesses competitive.
It’s employer-led change that increases access to research-based, family-friendly practices — big and small — that improve workplace productivity, recruitment, and retention; grow a strong economy; and support children’s healthy development.
Check out these collaborative solutions to ending poverty that are making Real Change! In conjunction with our summit Beyond Poverty GSO, United Way of Greater Greensboro put out the call to learn about collaborative best practices to ending poverty.
Greensboro, NC, faces persistent racial and economic inequities despite its growth, with major gaps in income, healthcare, and civic engagement.
