United Way wants every kindergarten student to start school ready to learn and succeed. That's why we are launching Kindergarten Countdown Camp, a new program for rising kindergarten students in our area.

Attendance Awareness Month

In the Greater Richmond and Petersburg region, nearly 1 in 10 students miss more than 10 percent of the school year – nearly a month of school. This problem exists at all grade levels.

Petersburg School-Based Health Center

Research shows that health is a critical factor in students attending school every day, engaging meaningfully and thriving in school and in life. That’s why United Way is working with local organizations through the Petersburg City and Schools Partnership to open a school-based health center at Petersburg High School.

We empower individuals and
drive systemic change to provide everyone with a clear path to success.
