** Valley of the Sun United Way receives grant from NBA Foundation
------------------------------------------------------------

Valley of the Sun United Way recently announced a $210,000 grant by the NBA Foundation in support of Valley of the Sun United Way’s Pathways to Economic Opportunity program that supports young Black and Latina women throughout Maricopa County.

Pathways to Economic Opportunity ([link removed]) works with Black and Latina women ages 16-29 to close the gender and race wealth gaps by providing job-skills training and upskilling, access to mentorships, internships and apprenticeships, financial literacy workshops and other opportunities. Led by Valley of the Sun United Way, the program is facilitated in partnership with Chicanos Por La Causa, the Greater Phoenix Chamber Foundation, Pipeline AZ, Year Up Arizona and YWCA Metropolitan Phoenix.

The Pathways to Economic Opportunity program team is currently recruiting for mentors and mentees for the upcoming 2024-2025 cohort.
