At United Way, we know that family engagement plays a critical role in keeping kids in school and ensuring that they graduate prepared to thrive.

Families and caregivers play pivotal roles in supporting young people’s learning journeys. However, many face challenges in navigating the complexities of the educational system and may require assistance and encouragement to effectively advocate for their children’s opportunities and success.

 Our work includes supporting adults in children’s lives. We train parents and caregivers in how to foster secure relationships with young children, how to be advocates for the well- being of children in our community, and how to affect positive change.
