Make an impact in real kids’ lives—see how your donation makes a difference for youth.
For youth in our communities, having somewhere to go between the classroom and home can mean the world. It gives those living in stressful environments the chance to relax, feel safe, and just be themselves. That’s why United Way works with local partners to help kids access after-school programs and drop-in spaces.
Esther first joined a United Way-supported after-school program when she was eight years old. Now she volunteers because of the impact the program had on her life.
“Some kids come from not-so-great backgrounds, and they’re always sort of the ‘adult’ at home,” Esther explains. “But when they come to the programs, we just let them be themselves.”
