Back-to-School

This school year, the Steps to Success start with you. Learn more about what you can do to help students on their educational journey.

Attendance Awareness Month

September is Attendance Awareness month. We invite you to join us in sharing information about the importance of attendance.

Petersburg School-Based Health Center

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.

FamilyWize

One of the easiest and most effective ways to succeed in school is simply showing up. For students without health insurance, this is easier said than done. If a student is not receiving appropriate medical care and is not healthy, it is difficult—if not impossible—for that child to succeed in school. 

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

Give

Making a donation is the best way to help make lasting change in the lives of those who need it most. We direct your gift to where it will have the greatest impact.
