1.3: UpTogether

Build a website using social networking technology to expand access to social capital for people participating in our family groups by connecting them with individuals who have access to resources, connections, and information.

Other Information:

The families in our demonstration projects often require access to additional social and financial capital to realize their goals. FII is piloting UpTogether, a community building website using social networking technology to expand access to social capital for people participating in our family groups by connecting them with individuals who have access to resources, connections, and information. Through UpTogether, people can identify and track their goals. They can also form groups around common interests to share information, get support, and hold each other accountable.

Stakeholder(s):

• UpTogether: Since 2001 the partnerships that the Family Independence Initiative has forged with low-income families across the country have proven that when personal and community self-determination is supported, families can work together to improve their own economic and social mobility.
