Far too many children face barriers that make it hard to succeed in school. Unmet basic needs, learning gaps and limited access to resources can prevent them from reaching their potential. A child’s path to success begins with strong early education, continues through consistent support in school and extends to opportunities for future careers.
When kids have the right support, they’re more likely to stay on track, graduate and succeed in life. Research shows that early investment in education leads to higher earnings, better health outcomes and stronger communities. That’s why United Way is focused on giving every child a fair shot at success — regardless of their ZIP code.
