Committeeman Hon. Ronald Savage born Oct, 6, 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
former member of the Bronx AFP Community Board Council - appointed by the Bronx Borough President's Office, former Vice Chairman
of the Bronx Neighborhood Advisory Board #10 for the Department of Youth and Community Development, & former 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 PULL 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, and re-elected in 2010. In 2011 another one of his dreams came true when the NYC Library assepted his educational DVD ''The Plan' into the NYC Librery (in the Bronx), he is very proud of this, and is one of the very few people from the bronx to have his work in the NYC
Librery. Ron Savage seems to be making his mark in history.
