Committeeman Hon. Ronald Savage is the Founder & Exec. Director for United Coalition Association Inc. a 501(c) (3)
Public Charity Organization. Mr. Savage is also an Anti-Gang Violence Public Figure in the Bronx, N.Y., and a member of the
Bronx AFP Community Board Council - appointed by the Bronx Borough President's Office, Vice Chairman of the Bronx Neighborhood
Advisory Board #10 for the
Department of Youth and Community Development, a Board Member & Chairman of the Youth Committee for Bronx Community Board 9.
In February of 2005, United Coalition Association was birth out of a community newsletter Mr. Savage started
that addressed community issues that received little to no attention from various entities. During his years of service, he
has made great strides in the Bronx communities. Some of his accomplishments include providing a safe entrance into Noble
Playground, whose only entrances were located on the side of a highway, trash cans were placed on blocks that were in dire
need of them, a Mobile Postal Unit was available in an area where the local postal offices was quite a distance to get to,
especially for the senior citizens and petition for speed bumps in school zones just to name a few. A personal goal of Mr.
Savage's to have a building in the community for UCAI to be able to continue the work it started. Part of UCAI's mission statement
is to have a voice on local and national governmental issues.
The United Coalition Association has taken
steps to fight against the alarming number of youth dropouts; by hosting the Official Bronx College Fairs which are designed
to inspire our youth by showing them the value of an education and equipping our students with the means to obtain a high
quality education that will enable them to become successful adults. The
Key to Success Program is a youth leadership skills program to help equip our youth for the future. This program is an effort
to fight against juvenile delinquency and to mold our youth into productive individuals. We work with ''at-risk' young people (ages
12-19) who receive youth leadership development. Our young people also receive production creation with the aim of creating
a successful anti-gang violence /anti-drug public service announcements. Our slogan is, “The key to success is knowing
the importance of staying in school.” We have a PSA, forums and interviews to help us in getting the message across
that there are choices in life! The most recent PSA is called PICK UP YOUR PANT’S. This talks about how our youth are
misguided by the negative images on the rap videos of seeing rapper’s wearing their pants below their butt. Mr. Savage
is stepping up to the plate in making sure this style is banned. Quoted: The theme of our college fair day is, "The
Importance of Staying in School". As you are well aware, the percentage of Latino and African American students dropping
out of high school is alarming. As a result, we are urging people in the Latino and African American communities to help us
take a stance and educate the many families who are unaware of the resources available for their children to obtain a College
Education.”
In 2008 Mr. Ronald Savage was elected as the vice president of the Community Democratic
Club for the 76 Assembly District. He has been a strong voice for the 76 Assembly District. As V.P- Ron Savage makes sure
the 76AD is strong politically in his district. In 2008 Mr. Savage was elected to the New York State Democratic
Committee. Ron Savage seems to be making his mark in history.
