EDUCATION United Way takes a holistic approach to developing educational capacity. Education is more than just a classroom or a teacher. In order for youth to receive a quality education, it takes the focus and resources of the entire community to create learning-rich environments where dreams are fueled and opportunities are delivered to those who need them.

INCOME
To address the obstacles that prevent hard working families from getting ahead financially, United Way promotes community-change strategies to help families meet their basic needs, while gaining the financial capability to plan for, and accomplish, their long-term financial goals. |

HEALTH
Good health allows children to learn better and adults to increase their income through productive work. Conversely, health problems often lead to increased school absences among children, as well as increased on-the-job absences by adults. To increase the number of youth and adults who are healthy and avoid risky behavior requires us all to become more aware of health risks and the potential effects they have on ourselves and others, starting from before birth. Working to change policies and practices will enable more people to live healthier lives.
