Program accomplishments

  • Transformative. UCM's work with Transformational and Restorative Justice includes community collaborations with other local nonprofit organizations and statewide initiatives. We continued the work in dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline by meeting with local legislatures, school board representatives and principals, and conducting a few events to encourage relationships between students, law enforcement, and leaders in education and in the community. We also hosted our second Gun Violence Awareness Boxing Event in Cahokia Heights, IL in collaboration with the Arthur Johnson Invitational which promoted an alternative to street violence and a positive discipline. This was another way to bring our community together and encourage our youth.
    Expenses $270,031 · grants $60,100
  • General Programming. The Leadership Pipeline which affords the ability to offer paid volunteering and internship opportunities to both students and community members in the Metro-East region. We offered paid canvassing opportunities, hired interns from local universities and communities to work in areas within their self-interest that both directly and indirectly impacted the Metro-East communities.
    Expenses $195,386
  • Environmental. UCM's work with Environmental Justice includes Environmental Racism which is a form of institutional racism leading to landfills, incinerators and hazardous waste disposal being disproportionately placed in communities of color. UCM has secured grants to fund a comprehensive study through an Air Quality Monitoring Project set to properly identify chemicals and metals in the air in St. Clair and Madison Counties; the dispersement of data about carbonization in Madison County; and the creation of Climate Action Hubs throughout St. Clair and Madison Counties that will offer climate readiness, EJ programs, and resources for community members; and continued efforts to bring fresh food and end flooding, sewage backup, and illegal dumping in St. Clair County. Through these efforts and funding, we were able to hire community organizers dedicated to environmental work and interns from Washington University in St. Louis, MO and Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville, IL.
    Expenses $121,978
