HAPPY CHILDHOODS
United Way’s focus on EDUCATION

The foundation for success in school and life begins early. United Way supports programs that give kids a solid start.

Parents are children's first and best teachers. United Way invests in parenting programs that ensure optimal child development, enhance school readiness, and strengthen family dynamics.

We all benefit when children succeed in school.

United Way provides access to quality childcare for children from low-income families through programs that create a foundation for school success.

Research shows that out-of-school tie directly affects youth behavior and academic success. United Way invests in high-quality programs that provide enrichment opportunities. Because of your United Way investment, mentoring, safe places to play, tutoring, and leadership development activities are attainable for low-income families. These programs keep youth on track for school, work, and life.
