Advancing the Common Good: Creating Opportunities for a Better Life for All
Everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.
That’s why United Way’s work is focused on the building blocks for a good life:
- Youth Opportunity – All children and youth deserve pathways of opportunity, from their first day to their first day on the job.
- Financial Security – Everyone deserves the opportunity to earn a living that can sustain a family and build security for future generations.
- Healthy Community –Everyone deserves the opportunity to live their healthiest life through access to quality health education and nutritious food.
- Community Resiliency – Call or click 211, the 24-7 resource that connects people across the U.S. with help for housing, food, financial assistance, and more.
Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are all connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy.
United Way’s goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of these problems. Living united means being a part of the change. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future.
