United Way as a National Service Partner

United Way is a national network of nearly 1,300 local organizations that work to advance the common good by focusing on education, income and health. These are the building blocks for a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.

Advancing the Common Good

Education – Helping Children and Youth Achieve Their Potential

Income – Promoting Financial Stability and Independence

Health – Improving People’s Health

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.

Advocate

United Way encourages everyone to speak up about the things that matter most—education, health care, financial stability for working families. One of United Way’s top public policy efforts is an increase in the funding for the Corporation for National and Community Service.
