MILLION MENTORS CHALLENGE

United Way of Northwest Connecticut has joined the United Way Worldwide's Million Mentors Challenge, an initiative aimed at reducing the high school drop out rate. As part of this program, the United Way of NWCT is partnering with Literacy Volunteers to match volunteers with a person who needs help reading. If you have an hour per week to help someone improve their reading skills, call the United Way at 860-489-4131 or email Pat Marciano, pat@northwestunitedway.org.
