2013 COMMUNITY IMPACT Applications Workshop EDUCATION February 5, 2013 EDUCATION SCOPE (p. ii) Lola Jordan, Director of Community Impact, Education Education Scope: (p. ii in application) Programs, services, supports, and activities that prepare children and youth to be ready for, and maintain success in school, ensuring that they have the social, emotional, and intellectual tools to attain academic success. United Way of Broward County believes learning begins at birth and continue throughout life, and that we focus on and appreciate all aspects of academic learning, from preschool through high school and beyond. Families in high needs, at-risk communities are often unable to provide their children with cultural arts and enrichment activities; these pursuits are vital in teaching critical thinking, creativity and reflection and in helping children develop a sense of the world outside of their impoverished surroundings.
