Community Forum

Thanks to everyone who attended Monday’s community forum. There was a diversified crowd of people working in education, others working in community based organizations, and still others who just want to advance education in Louisville. We had an overwhelmingly positive response, and the group discussions generated many great ideas.

At Monday’s event, Metro United Way and The Community Foundation of Louisville announced a joint request for proposal to any local group looking to promote a college-going culture in Louisville. It’s exciting to see two local organizations form a partnership to get us closer to obtaining those 55,000 degrees. For more information on the RFP, visit Metro United Way’s website.
