Aim Higher

Our Culture

At Student United Way, we've set a Big Hairy Audacious Goal: Making Greater Detroit one of the top places to live and work by 2030.

Why 2030?

The children being born this year will become the graduating class of 2030. We can ensure that this group becomes the most college and career-ready class in the nation by accelerating and integrating community efforts focused on their success, while meeting the needs of their families.

Given United Way’s history of building relationships to improve lives and communities, we believe that we can be the social change agent that harnesses the collective power of people and institutions to strengthen these community conditions as our contribution to making Greater Detroit a top place to live and work.
