People who earn a living wage and have the tools they need to build wealth are able to fulfill their potential and get on a path to financial freedom. Meaningful work helps all people — regardless of age, ability, gender or previous justice system involvement — to have pride and self-confidence. United Way invests in partners committed to building individual skills and developing career opportunities that put employees in a position to succeed on the job and in life.
