All young people deserve to have a positive start toward adulthood, to learn and succeed and to reach their full potential. Why is this so critical? Education is the key to stability, success and confidence. In 2023 alone, United Way invested $1.5 million in 30 agencies working to level the playing field for students from pre-K to high school and beyond. In 2023-24, an additional $996,000 was invested in Welcome Back Summer, which funded 50 summer programs across the region.
