Cycle of Success: Trident United Way focuses on education, financial stability and health: areas that work together to ensure a stable life. A strong presence in each of these areas is vital to support thriving individuals and communities. As our neighbors’ needs are met in one area, they gain momentum to propel themselves forward in other areas. Trident United Way is proud to be a catalyst in the path to progress.
DEAR FRIENDS, We love where we live, and we know you do too. Our beautiful and vibrant Tri-County region is continually ranked as one of the top places to live year after year. The Tri-County has been ranked as the 12th fastest-growing metro area in the U.S. in the most recent census estimates. While that brings substantial opportunities, it can also create substantial need as we try to ensure every resident has access to quality education and healthcare and the tools needed to lead financially stable lives. In the 2016-2017 fiscal year, more than 33,500 of you chose to LIVE UNITED® together by investing your time, talent and treasure in Trident United Way. That investment translated to more than 150,000 lives being changed. Because of you, we are impacting approximately 1,100 children through innovative teacher training in the inaugural year of the Tri-County Reading by Third Project. Because of you, we were able to serve more than 2,000 individuals at the Berkeley and Dorchester Prosperity Centers to meet them where they are and assist them on the path to financial stability in the 2016-2017 fiscal year. And because of you, we’ve successfully launched Healthy Tri-County, alongside our core hospital partners. Members from 52 organizations are actively developing a Tri-County Health Improvement Plan that will be implemented over the next five years (2018-2023). As you read through this impact report, you’ll see how – through collective impact – we’ve leveraged your dollars to make the most difference in the community you call home. Because of you, we are working to create bold community change and keep the Tri-County one of the best places to live in America. Thank you for your trust in us,
Christopher Kerrigan President & CEO Trident United Way

UNITED, WE GIVE CHILDREN THE SUPPORT
“They like the fact that they can read, especially the kindergarten kids. They say it – ‘I can read!!’ when they know a new word. It’s amazing. They love it.” – Rendy Yates, Teacher at Clay Hill Elementary

THEY NEED TO SUCCEED IN SCHOOL AND BEYOND Trident United Way formally launched the Tri-County Reading by Third Project in August 2017. TUW has committed up to $1.5 Million to local school districts over a three-year period to bring innovative teacher training to pilot classrooms in pre-kindergarten through second grade.

TUW works to raise early childhood literacy rates because a strong correlation exists between success in third grade and high school graduation rates. In 2016, only 52% of third graders in the Tri-County region were reading at grade level at the end of the school year.
TRI-COUNTY READING BY THIRD PROJECT
UNIV. OF FLORIDA LASTINGER INSTITUTE TRAINING
12 schools in four school districts

Reinforces an individualized model over teaching to the classroom
Approximately 100 teachers received training from the University of Florida Lastinger Institute during the pilot’s inaugural year.
Designed to meet students where they are on their path to literacy
Approximately 1,100 students will be impacted during the inaugural year of the project.
UF Lastinger Center team provided teacher training in August 2017 and January 2018. It will continue to provide coaching sessions and support to participating teachers.
Data sharing agreements allow comparisons across groups of students at different points in their school careers and will augment understanding of how individualized learning supports students over time through third grade.

THE CYCLES OF POVERTY “I thought I had gotten as much out of AmeriCorps as I could at the end of the first year but I was wrong. I honed my leadership skills that second year and I see myself taking more initiative to serve as a resource to others now.” – Sara Elledge, TUW AmeriCorps Alumna

UNITED, WE HELP PEOPLE FROM ALL
“It was reassuring to look at all the players at the [Healthy Tri-County] table. It showed that there are a lot of people that are serious about this. You have CEOs of hospitals, law enforcement, school board members, government – these are the decision makers in the community. To see who actually shows up is a telltale sign of if this thing has the horsepower to move forward and it does.” – Taylor Lee, Director, Lowcountry Region, DHEC

WALKS OF LIFE LIVE HEALTHIER HEALTHY TRI-COUNTY Healthy Tri-County was formally launched in January 2017 as a multi-sector regional initiative to improve health outcomes in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties.

Born out of the 2016 Community Health Needs Assessment conducted by Healthy Tri-County’s three core partners, a workgroup of 52 organizations is currently developing the Tri-County Health Improvement Plan. The five-year plan (2018-2023) will provide a roadmap for improving health outcomes in the Tri-County region.
