Mission Statement
United Way of Rock River Valley unites the collective power of our community to improve lives.
About This Cause
There is a literacy crisis in Winnebago County, and United Way of Rock River Valley (UWRRV) is rallying our community to action. Only 32% or 1 in 3 third-grade students read at grade level. We can do better. We must do better. UWRRV created United for Literacy, a unified, comprehensive plan to improve literacy in our community so all can thrive. Under this plan, we fund measurable interventions, including child and parental engagement, volunteer mobilization, caregiver support, and community awareness. We are harnessing our collective power to systematically remove the barriers to literacy, thereby lifting our entire community. United for Literacy is a joint effort with more than 30 community organizations, including 20 UWRRV-funded partners, working to improve our county's low literacy rate and increase the accessibility of books and other resources for children who may not have them at home. We aim to have 75% of children in Winnebago County reading at or above grade level by 2034. Every young child deserves an opportunity to reach their fullest potential in life, and our employer partners and community members can play a pivotal role in making this happen. Change doesn’t happen alone. We call upon everyone in Winnebago County to ensure that every child enters Kindergarten ready to read. Join us in making a difference in our children's lives through the power of literacy so they can succeed.
