Education is the cornerstone of individual and community success. In Centre County our partner agencies are working to prepare our children to be ready to start school, to decrease our 11% illiteracy rate, and to provide quality educational opportunities for everyone.

As many as one-third of working Americans do not earn enough money to meet their basic needs. For families walking a financial tightrope, unable to save for college, a home, or retirement, United Way is here to help.

Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are all connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy. United Way’s goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of these problems. Living united means being a part of the change. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future. Give. Advocate. Volunteer. LIVE UNITED.

Whether it is a neighbor without health insurance, a victim of abuse, or someone struggling with mental illness or an addiction, Centre County United Way partner agencies are working to ensure everyone has access to affordable and quality care.
