ABOUT YOUR UNITED WAY
MISSION
We improve lives by
mobilizing community assets for health and human services.
ADVANCING THE COMMON GOOD
Advancing the common good
means creating opportunities for a better life for all. United Way
of Summit County is committed to improving the conditions by
focusing on these three building blocks:
EDUCATION
>> Developing and
supporting programs that ensure children are ready to succeed in
school and are on track to
become productive adults
>> Helping children realize that a quality
education leads to a stable job
INCOME
>> Creating opportunities
for people to earn an income that can support a family through
retirement
>> Building an environment where individuals and
families can improve their ability to live independently
HEALTH
>> Improving overall
mental and physical wellness
>> Increasing the number of youth and adults who
are healthy and avoid risky behaviors
Our goal is to create long-lasting changes by
addressing the underlying causes of problems. When we reach out a
hand to one, we influence the condition of all. We invite you to be
a part of this change. To support this vision for the future of
Summit County. Together, we can accomplish more than any single
group can on its own. |
