Education
United Way is helping individuals achieve their potential by
Improving access to affordable, quality child care and early childhood learning opportunities,
Partnering with schools and parents to improve student success rates, and
Providing after-school and mentoring programs for children and teens.
United Way Worldwide works to end America’s education crisis.
Education is the cornerstone of individual and community success. But with more than 1.2 million children dropping out each year, America faces an education crisis. The cost? More than $312 billion in lost wages, taxes and productivity over their lifetimes. These trends are reversible, but only when communities and public, private and nonprofit sectors work together.
