United Community Centers

United Community Centers is a nonprofit organization based in Fort Worth, Texas. Founded in 1909, it operates with a small team of three employees and generates revenue exceeding $10,000 annually. The organization focuses on providing a range of services designed to empower individuals and families in need. These services include childcare in a safe and nurturing environment, individualized literacy instruction for pre-K to 7th-grade students, and family workshops covering crucial areas like financial literacy, workforce skills, job placement, and parent empowerment. United Community Centers prides itself on its commitment to improving educational outcomes for its young participants. Through its individualized literacy program, 58% of students achieve on-grade reading levels, exceeding the state average of 45%. This emphasis on early literacy development is crucial as research indicates that students who struggle with reading by 3rd grade are significantly less likely to graduate high school. To support families facing food insecurity, United Community Centers operates a pantry and center grocery distribution program, providing groceries to over 24,000 families annually.
