Become a U2L Partner

Join Us in Empowering Dallas Schools

Public schools thrive when students have the essential resources they need to succeed. Unfortunately, many Dallas schools face significant challenges, including tight budgets, high teacher turnover, and high levels of poverty. United to Learn Partners are crucial in bridging these resource gaps, supporting 126 elementary schools across Dallas ISD.

Why Become a U2L Partner?

Investing in students today is vital to our city’s future success. U2L Partners are the driving force behind our thriving campus model. Through strategic investments, valuable resources, and dedicated volunteer support, our partners help create thriving schools and accelerate student achievement. Together, we can build a brighter future for our community.

The Urgent Need for U2L Partners

By 2036, over 75% of jobs will require education beyond a high school diploma, yet less than half of Dallas students are currently on track to achieve this goal. With tight public school budgets, private sector investments are critical in closing opportunity gaps and advancing educational equity.

Students in our school network are among the highest need:
76% live in poverty, qualifying for free or reduced lunch
95% identify as students of color
49% are emergent bilingual learners
100% have unlimited potential to thrive

At OCC, we take great pride in giving back to our community. It is an integral part of who we are. United to Learn is doing amazing things, and we are incredibly proud to partner with them and Tom C. Gooch Elementary to make a positive impact on the lives of so many you students and teachers. Volunteering has helped us build a stronger bond within the community and amongst our team. We look forward to continuing to work with them to make a lasting impact.
