All That Kids Can Be
United Way is giving children and youth the support they need to get a great start in life, do well in school, and reach their full potential.
The Challenge
Early development – from childhood to young adulthood – is a strong predictor of future success. Unfortunately, too many kids face barriers to achieving their dreams.

Our Work
We help kids move toward the brightest possible future by investing in three key areas.
Engagement in Learning
United Way is helping kids succeed in school and develop key life skills – from after-school homework and tutoring programs, to resources that help parents prepare their children for kindergarten.
Connectedness and Community Involvement
United Way is helping kids develop positive relationships with their peers and families, and be leaders in their community – from team-building recreation programs, to mentoring and leadership development opportunities.
Emotional and Physical Wellbeing
United Way is investing in a positive lifestyle for kids, helping them believe in themselves and make healthy choices – from counselling programs that build self-esteem, to summer camps promoting physical activity.

Thanks to your generous support, we’re investing every year in helping kids realize their full potential.
