Collaborating For Community Success

Excelerate Success, a community partnership anchored by Spokane County United Way, helped launch the Greater Minds Initiative organized by Greater Spokane Incorporated (GSI). The Greater Minds Initiative's bold goal is to improve the education attainment of our region by increasing the proportion of adults in Spokane County with high-quality degrees, certificates or other credentials from 40% to 60% by 2025.

Local teens receive Presidential Volunteer Service Award

At the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Unity Rally and March on Monday, January 16th, 2017, 13 teen volunteers from the Martin Luther King, Jr. Family Outreach Center received the Presidential Volunteer Service Award.

This award, signed by President Barack Obama, recognizes their dedication to service.

The awards were made available by the Youth United Program, a program of Spokane County United Way and sponsored by WSECU (Washington State Employees' Credit Union). Altogether, these teens served over 2,000 hours in Spokane County. We thank them and congratulate them for their outstanding dedication to make Spokane County a better, more equitable community!
