United Way: Focus on Education

United Way of Central Illinois is focused on education in our community.

Millions of kids have lost ground after almost two years of virtual learning, and youth continue to lack supportive, sustained relationships with caring adults.

United Way's goal is to help kids learn and better prepare them for bright futures.

United Way is here to fill the gaps in our community.

Together, with our partners and volunteers, we're...

  • providing over 200,000 books to children ages birth to five.
  • providing students the crucial skills needed to be successful in kindergarten.
  • improving graduation rates among first-generation college students.
  • offering accessible mentoring opportunities to improve academic performance, set goals, and plan for the future.

With your help, we can prepare more kids for brighter futures...

Together, we can.
