Join us in building a Triangle where shared prosperity is the measure of success, so that growth lifts everyone who calls this region home.
We identify the highest-impact opportunities to expand economic mobility, activate the leaders to act on them, and invest in solutions that compound over time.
Economic mobility becomes a reality when great organizations, committed leaders, and real dollars move together with purpose and intention.
We bring cross-sector partners, community leaders, and residents to the table to surface opportunities and align on the way forward.
We align the people, partnerships, dollars, and time needed to make economic mobility a reality across the Triangle.
We learn from every investment and amplify the solutions that move people forward, so good work compounds over time.
Through deep partnerships and bold action, we remove barriers and open doors to economic and social mobility.

Pathways to Government began inside our Aspen Workforce Leadership Academy, where we recruited emerging leaders and grew the idea through the fellowship. Alongside Leila Pedersen from the Raleigh i-Team, we spotted an opening: quality public-sector jobs sitting unfilled.
Then the work compounded. We paired $20,000 in Aspen Institute seed funding with public funds from the Capital Area Workforce Board to launch a pilot apprenticeship built to scale. This is what one dollar plus one dollar equals three looks like.
Whether you give, volunteer, or partner with us, your involvement makes the whole system work better. Every dollar invested through UWGT is stewarded with intention, care, and support.
