In addition, the Intern may drive and/or support smaller data analysis and research projects to advance UWW’s goal of strengthening the capacity and effectiveness of the 211 Network. &nbsp;About 211A 3-digit dialing code that connects to a free, confidential service for information and referrals to social services programs and resources, 211 is leveraged by millions of people across North America. Every day, clients contact 211 for assistance with housing and utility payments, food, mental health services, employment services, veteran services, childcare and family services, and more. Trained 211 Community Resource Specialists listen, identify underlying problems and root causes, and connect people to local support to improve their lives. There is no other service in the country with a similar pulse on America’s needs.United Way is proud to be a strong supporter of 211. In the U.S., local United Ways operate and/or provide funding to about 85% of local 211 systems. United Way Worldwide (UWW) is the only organization with staff fully dedicated to supporting the strategy and operations of the entire network of 211 providers.&nbsp;A key component of UWW’s strategy to elevate the 211 brand and build financial support for 211 is to increase awareness and usage of 211 data. UWW maintains the 211 National Data Platform (NDP) which currently brings together local 211 resource directories into a single, national directory. In 2025, we will launch Phase 2 of the NDP, which will bring together locally collected data on 211 client interactions (i.e., the needs and demographics of individuals contacting 211), to enable near real-time visibility into trends in needs across communities.PRIMARY PROJECTS<ul><li>211 NDP Phase 2 Business Strategy Development<ol><li>Via desk research and conversations with UWW leaders, identify and prioritize potential partners (e.g., foundations, corporations, government agencies) that may be interested in supporting UWW’s vision to bring data on 211 client interactions into the NDP and to develop and publish a National 211 Community Needs Dashboard. UWW is interested in identifying partners to both fund this work and to support product development (i.e., provide input and feedback on Dashboard design, assess opportunities to generate revenue from related data products).</li><li>In collaboration with UWW leaders, develop short (1-3 page) concept papers to share with prioritized partners that align partner interests with work that would meaningfully advance UWW’s vision for Phase 2 of the NDP.</li><li>Support UWW leaders, including the Internship Supervisor, with an initial project to begin Phase 2.

This summer, we envision the 211 Intern will have the opportunity to support working sessions with 211 leaders and UWW stakeholders to review and refine the Dashboard design.</li></ol></li><li>Potential Secondary Projects<ol><li>Data Analysis and Visualization of Local 211 Support – Learn how to use Salesforce, UWW’s customer relationship management system, and develop a dashboard or other data visualization/report to enable the UWW 211 team to use Salesforce data to quickly and holistically understand how local 211s are interacting with UWW. &nbsp;</li><li>Ad Hoc Research and Analysis to Advance UWW’s 211 Strategy– As requested, conduct other research and analysis to advance UWW’s 211 strategy.
