Last fall , WLC voted to allocate nearly half of its Women United Fund towards Third Grade Literacy . This summer , members will volunteer through UWSD ’ s Readers in the Heights initiative , where over 350 City Heights children will attend a literacy camp to help maintain and improve their reading skills , which often falter over the summer . WLC members will work closely with families participating in the initiative to foster a love of literacy in the home . Pamela King , of San Diego Unified School District ’ s Family and Community Engagement Team , will train volunteers the way she teaches parents : “ to learn the language and tools teachers use in the classroom so they can reinforce the same learning in the home .”
Lisa Kalal , United Way ’ s VP of Philanthropy shared with Giving Back Magazine , “ Our partners , like Solar Turbines , help us make a bigger impact – an impact that changes lives and sets a young person on a path to educational and career success . We look forward to 50 more years of a partnership that helps sustain the community we serve !”
