We create pathways for young people to reach their goals, from early childhood education to college and career success. Together, we are helping young people reach their full potential.
Every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive. At United Way, we help children get off to a good start and empower youth to reach their full potential by breaking down barriers to success. We advance what works, including early childhood education, literacy development, access to a high-quality K-12 education, enrichment opportunities like after school and summer programs, college and career readiness, and family engagement, fostering a future where every young person can realize their dreams.

GET INVOLVED: BECOME A VOLUNTEER
Help children on the path to success by becoming a Read to Succeed volunteer reading coach. United Way’s Read to Succeed initiative focuses on helping children read at grade level by the end of third grade. Volunteer reading coaches meet weekly with a student for 30 minutes to listen to them read and provide intervention tactics to help them improve their reading skills.
Learn more about the program and how you can change a child’s life by serving as a reading coach.
