Unite to Learn and Grow
United Way’s Racial Equity Work
United Way of Central Carolinas fights for the education, health and financial stability of every person in our community. With more than 90 years of experience, we are a strategic community leader, convener and advocate with in-depth knowledge of the communities we serve across five counties in the Charlotte region.
By applying a racial equity lens to our work, we are paying disciplined attention to race and ethnicity, while analyzing problems, seeking solutions and defining successes. We are excited to listen, learn and do the hard work that is required to address the power imbalances that exist as part of systemic racism.
How to Get Involved
We must raise our voices, educate ourselves and do what is necessary to dismantle systemic racism. Take part in one of our many ways to learn and grow.
Join the Challenge
The Racial Equity 21-Day Challenge is a powerful opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of how inequity and racism affect our lives and our community.
