June 30, 2022
Chloe struggled in school until she was connected with wrap-around supports through the All in for Youth initiative, a collaboration supported through United Way. Staff help Chloe through hardships at home, build her confidence and support her on her path to graduation.
When the pandemic hit our region, United Way worked rapidly with our partners to identify the needs of the most vulnerable and rallied the community to provide supports to vulnerable students such as home visits, food packages and virtual success coaching. Because supporters do local good, kids like Chloe can succeed in school and life.
