Education

Our Work:

Helping our youth prepare to succeed in Steele County: United Way is working to ensure that our kids start school prepared to succeed, have increased reading proficiency at a young age, remain on track through the school age years and eventually go on to graduate from high school & continue on to post-secondary education.

Why This Is Important:

The cornerstone for future success is a quality education. Graduates have a higher earning potential, are more engaged in their communities, and contribute more to the economy.

Our Impact:

When our area youth have access to a better quality education:

• They are more likely to live a better quality lifestyle, earn more money, and are also more likely to raise kids of their own that will also graduate on time & pursue post-secondary education options.
