How are the children? Communities can thrive today and reach their greatest future potential only if our children our thriving. That's why United Way's focus is on creating a community where "all the children are well." By ensuring that every child in our community has the opportunity to reach his or her potential, we are building a strong future for Greater Atlanta -- a future where every individual and family can thrive. Communities that can say "all the children are well" have babies who are born healthy; kids who read proficiently by 3rd grade; teens graduating from high school prepared for college, careers and life; children who are growing up in secure homes and safe neighborhoods, with healthy food and access to medical care to keep them healthy; and families living in communities where people are educated, employed and housed.

In 2002, at the request of Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, United Way convened what would become the Regional Commission on Homelessness. Leaders from the business, charitable and government sectors were brought together to develop a regional strategy for eliminating chronic homelessness in our community. In 2003, the Blueprint to End Homelessness in Ten Years was adopted. The City of Atlanta and seven other jurisdictions have made the Regional Commission on Homelessness a unique example of communities solving a regional problem by coming together. The joint efforts of the eight jurisdictions to end homelessness have been bold ones, including creating housing for homeless men, women and children, enhancing services and building a strong coalition.

Common Cause Georgia is a non-partisan, grassroots organization dedicated to restoring the core values of American democracy, reinventing an open, honest and accountable government that serves the public interest, and empowering ordinary people to make their voices heard in the political process. In Georgia, we work to hold power accountable and advocate for an inclusive democracy. We are part of the national Common Cause organization. In this spirit, Common Cause serves as an independent voice for change and a watchdog against corruption and abuse of power. Together with our sister organization, the Common Cause Education Fund, we employ a powerful combination of grassroots organizing, coalition building, research, policy development, public education, lobbying and litigation to win reform at all levels of government. Founded with 4,000 core members in 1970 to serve as a people’s lobby, Common Cause has grown into a nationwide network of more than 400,000 members and supporters, with offices in 36 states and Washington, D.C. To make our democracy work, we must claim it as our own. John Gardner, Common Cause’s founder, wrote that, “The citizen can bring our political and governmental institutions back to life, make them responsive and accountable and keep them honest. No one else can.”

There are three pillars we focus on: Diversity, Capacity, Responsibility. We want to center an ever increasing diversity of teenagers around one common mission of community leadership. We are helping teens serve in higher capacities in the capacities they are already in, and we want to instill in them a responsibility to serve and be an example for the generation behind them. We do this through service projects and labs. Service projects include helping under-resourced communities in Atlanta and the world. Our labs are designed to equip teens with the skills and resources they need to better their lifestyles and our culture. We also have numerous events and retreats throughout the year to provide continuing education and fellowship to ensure that teens remain plugged into the community and our programs.
