Sometimes, believing in yourself starts with trying something new and having someone in your corner.

In this month’s Monthly Reflection, our program manager, Tellamecus Forsythe, shares a moment from our first Innovation Camp at the United Way Institute, where students from Artes de la Rosa explored our AI Interviewer tool and practiced answering interview questions.

For Tellamecus, the most meaningful part wasn't just seeing students learn something new, but watching their confidence grow and seeing them leave excited to return.

These moments remind us that community is our WHY, and together, we can create opportunities that help people discover their potential and take the next step toward a brighter future.

Support more moments like these. Give today: https://bit.ly/4AebWTh

That’s a wrap on United In Service! 🇺🇸

We had such a good time bringing our community together to support veterans, military families and service members. Seeing families connect with local resources and the people ready to support them was a great reminder of how much it matters to show up for one another.

A huge thank-you to Tarleton State Fort Worth for partnering with us to make this day happen, along with all the vendors and community members who joined us.

We’re grateful to be part of a community that cares for those who have given so much to us!

What a special morning celebrating the women who have helped shape Women United into what it is today!

We gathered at The Fort Worth Club with our past chairs and founding members to share memories, reflect on how much Women United has grown, and talk about the impact they’ve seen along the way.

We’re so grateful for the women who started it all and those who have continued to build on that legacy. Thank you for being such an important part of Women United’s story!

Big ideas grow stronger with the right support.

Through Local Lift, this year’s finalists are getting guidance from experienced mentors to help them prepare for the pitch competition, strengthen their ideas and build a foundation for what comes next.

A big thank you to Mishon Landry and the SCORE Mentors for sharing their time, experience and guidance with this year’s Local Lift cohort.

The pitch competition is coming up soon, and we can’t wait to see what these finalists do with their ideas. Follow along as they continue their Local Lift journey!

We’re proud of the work we do, but even prouder of the people we get to do it with.

We’re excited to share that United Way of Tarrant County was named a Best Place to Work in Fort Worth Weekly’s Best Of 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards. (Woohoo!)

What makes this recognition special is the people behind it. We’re grateful for the teammates who support one another, care about what they do and make UWTC a place we’re proud to be part of every day.

Today is National Ombudsman Day, and we’re celebrating the volunteers who show up for residents in skilled nursing and assisted living communities.

Our Area Agency on Aging ombudsmen are there to listen, help residents understand their rights and make sure their concerns don’t go unheard.

If advocacy is something you care about, you can put it into practice as an ombudsman volunteer.

Whether you’re looking for an ombudsman for someone you love or are interested in becoming a volunteer, learn more here: https://bit.ly/4jLq69s
