About United Way of the Big Bend:

On February 11, 1943, nine concerned citizens chartered United Way of Leon County with the purpose of raising and distributing funds to charitable and character building agencies. In 1990, United Way of Leon County broadened its scope to incorporate seven neighboring counties, and changed the name to United Way of Big Bend.

Over the years, United Way of Big Bend has remained true to its founding goals. We are dedicated to supporting human service agencies in the big bend region, helping those living in the ALICE population (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed – simply put the working poor) and below, and creating collaborative strategies that result in long-lasting, positive change.

Featured Initiative: Reading Pals

ReadingPals is a statewide early literacy initiative that provides volunteer mentors for students from Voluntary Prekindergarten to 3rd grade who may need extra help, utilizing one-on-one or small group settings.

Every year, ONE in FOUR students fail to graduate from high school on time, and United Way of the Big Bend is changing this statistic. ReadingPals is continuing to work to improve the reading skills of students in Gadsden and Leon County and relies on hundreds of volunteers every year to read one-to-one with students who have been identified as struggling readers.

What do we hope to achieve?

How It Works:

• Mentors are matched one-to-one with students in kindergarten, first, or second grades
• Mentors report during the after-school setting for one hour a week during the school year

• Mentors choose the school and the day that best fit their schedule

• Mentors utilize a curriculum created by LCS District and UWBB that is tailored to children’s reading needs

• Mentors present each student with a brand new book every week

• Mentors receive training from UWBB and the school district (includes background screening)

• Mentors are matched one-to-one with students in kindergarten, first, or second grades

Interested in ReadingPals but aren’t sure you can give a full-time commitment?

There are many other ways to get involved with ReadingPals, including becoming a ReadingPals alternate when a full-time ReadingPals volunteer cannot be there to read with their student, delivering books from our office to the different ReadingPals sites, or putting sponsor stickers on books that allows the student to write their name in their book, as well as see all the sponsors who make ReadingPals possible!
