While our other programs aim to benefit young black professionals, UPC Collaborations (Collabs for short) is our platform to make a greater impact on the local community as a whole. As we support our members in building relationships and wealth, our members are constantly looking for opportunities to pay it forward in their community using their time, income, or both. At the same time, there are a plethora of local community organizations that are lacking in monetary or people support. UPC aims to be an organization that can bridge the gap with existing community outlets, connecting our members to help fill their needs, and ultimately bringing about the changes we want to see take place. Examples of community programs can include but are not limited to youth mentoring, group volunteering at food banks, donation drives, targeted support of local black businesses, and even mentor-led financial education workshops at a local high school.
