Thriving Kids

There’s nothing more important than ensuring our community’s children have what they need to thrive. LEARN MORE

  • In partnership with the Governor’s Office of Early Childhood, our Ages & Stages Developmental Screening Hub (ASQ)800 parent educational kits to be distributed to families across Jefferson County ​
  • A Mother of a 4-year-old child with autism was familiar with JCPS but unfamiliar with the referral process and available services. MUW’s ASQ team provided guidance on educational supports and connected the family to JCPS to help ensure she had access to appropriate services. The mother was also provided information on Families for Effective Autism Treatment (FEAT), a valuable support network that offers resources, education, and encouragement for families of children with autism.​ Her 2-year-old child was connected to (Kentucky Early Intervention System) KEIS and Greater Louisville Head Start for evaluation and early intervention services. ​
  • In Southern Indiana, MUW invested in nine organizations to provide direct assistance to support rapid response needs for families in need.
  • Our ASQ team actively engaged in serval community events, including the free Summer Movies at Xscape Theatres and the Community Action Back to School: Community Health Fair. ​
  • MUW believes those closest to the challenges often have the best solutions – that especially includes young people. Through Youth Social Action Projects (YSAP) grants, MUW’s Youth Success team supports youth-led initiatives that address community issues and empower them to create meaningful change. You can learn more about our YSAP investments HERE.​
  • Read more about our Hardship to Hope Youth Summer Fund:

  • MUW staff recently heard from 300FOR300, an organization founded by Chastity Dotson that is redefining youth empowerment. With support from a YSAP investment, they collaborated with their Youth Advisory Boards to develop an innovative mental health tool that promotes emotional literacy and equitable healing approaches. Most importantly, they provide a space for Girls of Colorto feel seen, heard, and empowered as advocates and leaders. ​Their story is a powerful reminder that when we trust young people with the resources, support, and opportunity to lead, they don’t just imagine a better future. They build it.​

Strong Households

When families have what they need, they can break cycles of poverty and work toward a better tomorrow for future generations and our entire community. LEARN MORE

  • Through our Siemer Institute network of service providers who are committed to supporting unstably housed families with at least one child in the home, we are continuing to realize strong results. Through June 30, our partners have served:
    • 291 families comprised of 543 children
    • 72% have reached a level of income stability
    • 76% have achieved a level of housing stability
    • 99% have been able to avoid an unplanned, unsupported school move.
  • Kentucky 211 Referrals
  • Southern Indiana Referrals:
  • These stats exceed network averages that span across 42 states and 80 partners! A special thanks to our six direct service provider partners: Americana Community Center, Family Scholar House, Jewish Family and Career Services, Multi-Purpose Community Action Agency, Salvation Army of Louisville, and Salvation Army of Southern Indiana.​
  • This summer, several of our close economic mobility provider partners have joined Metro United Way to participate in two series of powerful capacity building training we are sponsoring – NeighborWorks America’s Financial Capability Certification training and a separate series of workshops called The Empowered Coach/Social Worker training. The NeighborWorks courses focus on three areas: building skills for financial confidence, delivering effective financial capability programs, and financial coaching to help clients reach their goals. The Empowered Coach training also supports financial coaches and social workers in honing their coaching skills while also providing tools to ensure that helpers are operating from a place of strength. A special thank you to our funders who are making these two series possible – Louisville Metro Government and the CE&S Foundation.​
  • Our next cohort of the Clinical Entrepreneurship Program will be launching in August to support the professional development of behavioral health clinicians interested in opening their own private practices, while simultaneously supporting participating nonprofits as employers of choice and strengthening our region’s workforce in this critical area of need. Response for the upcoming series has been strong, and we’ve already begun a waiting list for future iterations! We are in the process of applying for approval of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for social workers and are grateful to the Old National Bank Foundation for providing a grant to support the provision of these workshops.​

Equitable Community

We envision the Greater Louisville region as a place where zip code doesn’t determine destiny and everyone has the opportunity to grow into their full potential. LEARN MORE

  • We facilitated a Racial Wealth Gap Simulation for Housing Partnership, Inc., engaging participants in meaningful dialogue about the historical policies that have contributed to wealth disparities and their lasting impact on communities.​
  • Throughout the summer, our Equitable Community team has partnered with Sowing Seeds With Faith to facilitate a College & Career Readiness Curriculum for 27 high school students through our Young Men United program. This included lessons, professional guests, a panel, and each student received a free professional headshot.​
  • Our team was part of a meeting at California Community Center with Councilman Ken Herndon’s office, Parks and Recreation, and The Descendants of the California Neighborhood. The goal was to develop an effective partnership between this grassroots organization and Louisville Parks and Recreation.​
