How You Support Local Youth

Antonio and Mr. DorseyTeenager Antonio (left) counts on his mentor, Mr. Dorsey, for advice, support and a weekly phone call that strengthens their bond. Research shows that when youth have access to positive adult role models and programs that help them develop socially, academically and emotionally, they become better students and stronger community members. 

Your United Way gift helps make mentoring relationships like Antonio's possible and gives thousands of school-age youth positive places to go outside of school!
