Readiness to Learn, School Success, Youth Development

UWAC supports community programs that help families and children thrive and learn, youth programs where kids feel safe and welcome, and connect youth with mentors and role models that they trust. This will be implemented through:

  • Early Childhood and Parenting Education Programs: Success by 6™
  • Academic Support and Literacy Programs
  • Afterschool, Summer, and Mentoring Programs

Outcomes

  • All children in Androscoggin and Oxford Counties are adequately prepared for success in kindergarten. They have the family and community support required to achieve the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical capacity to succeed in school.
  • Individuals are adequately prepared for success in the community and workplace. Access will be provided to services, education, and training opportunities leading to self-sufficiency, independence, and the ability to contribute to society.
