The Born Learning Trail is an interactive trail designed to boost school readiness in preschool children through a series of 10 engaging activities, resulting in increased language, reading and problem-solving skills. This initiative helps parents, caregivers, and communities create quality engagement opportunities when visiting local parks and playgrounds. A larger version of the Born Learning Trails flyer can be found here.
Women United is looking to have a Born Learning Trail in every Gloucester County Township and City. Please email Michael Gower for more information on our Born Learning Trails or any other initiative being undertaken by Women United. In addition, if you would like to learn how to be an active member of Women United, please download the most recent Women United Brochure and look over our webpage found here. We are always looking for women who would like to lead through philanthropy and advocacy, and wish to create positive change in our community!
Amazon Wishlists help our area non-profits get the tools and supplies they need and use on a daily basis. Our wish lists are a great way to help United Way of Gloucester County with specific items that we know our area non-profits need. One donation can help several different area non-profits because we can split up the purchases OR know who recently got a donation and make sure that it can be used right away.
Alternatively you can search for UWGC on Amazon. Simply visit the Amazon List or Registry search page, then use the drop down menu under “Accounts & Lists” and select “Find a List or Registry” to use the search tool to search for UWGC.
We would like to introduce you to Operation Read Along with United Way of Gloucester County. This video collection helps young readers have new and interesting people to read with from different backgrounds and walks of life. It also assures that they are safe whether in the classroom or at home. Promoting lifelong literacy is important to the United Way of Gloucester County and this is a really special way for us to reach families, after school programs, classrooms, and beyond. This project started as a distance volunteer program with the National Honor Society from Gloucester County Institute of Technology.
Videos of all types of stories are uploaded to our dedicated playlist on our YouTube Channel that can be viewed here.
We will be adding to our Operation Read Along playlist and hope to have new titles and stories uploading so make sure to subscribe to our channel so you get notifications when a new story is live.
If you would like to see our full title list please check this out! Books are added here when they are uploaded to the channel, not all videos are currently showing on the channel, some are uploaded as premieres so we have new content going up.
