Our strength-based approach
To successfully remove these barriers to economic and social mobility, UpTogether partners with local and state agencies to adopt our strength-based approach, built on:
Community
We center our work around the strengths and initiatives of people living in financially under-resourced communities and promote the role social networks within these communities play in helping people accomplish their goals and achieve long-term socioeconomic mobility.
Capital
We invest in families with unrestricted cash in recognition of the initiatives they are taking to improve their lives.
Choice
We trust that people in financially under-resourced communities know what’s best and are capable of making decisions for themselves and their families.
