When we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all.
2008-2009 Yale University United Way Campaign
Each year, students, faculty and staff across the University partner with United Way to improve lives and to reduce the economic and education disparities that challenge our region. This year that partnership is particularly important. Too many families are struggling to secure what we consider fundamental – food, fuel, a safe and stable place to live. They also struggle to obtain what we know is necessary for real success – job and financial stability, access to healthcare and learning opportunities from birth through adulthood.
The Building Blocks for a Good Life and Strong Community
Education
Helping children and youth achieve their highest potential
Through its Success By 6 ® initiative, United Way has invested $1.6 million to support children and families and has made it possible for more than 1,100 children to attend quality child care programs.
Income
Helping families become financially stable and independent
In 2007, United Way helped over 200 people facing challenges of homelessness, mental illness, substance abuse or language barriers find employment.
Health
Improving people’s health and connection to their community
In 2006, Experience Corps, a joint project of United Way and The Agency on Aging of South Central CT, expanded to all eight Hamden elementary schools. The tutoring provided by older adults to k-3 graders resulted in increased academic success and meaningful inter-generational relationships.
