About Us…
In 2016, Fort Wayne UNITED was launched as a mayoral initiative under the leadership of our late mayor, Tom Henry. Uniting two national efforts, Cities United and My Brother’s Keeper, under one umbrella, Fort Wayne UNITED was designed to:
- answer the call to enhance opportunities for the most vulnerable citizens of
our community through advanced youth advocacy; - create a safer city for those impacted most by violent crime;
- educate and empower leaders; and
- decrease violence while increasing hope in specific neighborhoods.
By bringing together a diverse group of passionate and committed leaders, the initiative educates, informs, and engages our community.
VISION…
Empowered members of a safe, vibrant community who all have opportunities to thrive at home, school, and work.
MISSION…
Creating impact in under-resourced populations and communities.
