Mission & Vision
United Way of Southwest Virginia fights for the health, education and financial stability of every person in Southwest Virginia because they are the building blocks for a good quality of life.
How We Do It
Our Cradle-to-Career Approach
Early Childhood
Children are cared for in quality environments, ready for kindergarten, and equipped with the skills and support necessary for learning and success
Elementary
Children are fed, engaged in healthy lifestyles, and reading at grade level by the end of 3rd grade
Middle School
Youth have goals, support, and a plan for the future, basic financial literacy, and knowledge about their health and well-being
High School
Youth gain hands-on career experience and complete high school with a plan to enter the workforce or pursue opportunities in post-secondary education or training
Beyond
Families are healthy, educated, and financially stable, and are contributing members of a workforce that invest in the community by giving, advocating, and volunteering
