Underneath Everything We Are, Underneath Everything We Do, We Are All People. Connected, Interdependent, United. And When We Reach Out A Hand To One, We Influence The Condition Of All.
That’s What It Means To Live United.
Advancing the Common Good
Advancing the Common Good means creating opportunities for a better life for all.
- When we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all.
- We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable and when people have good health.
- These results/changes have benefits that ripple out to the community as a whole.
Today’s United Way focuses on addressing the underlying causes of community issues—why problems exist. United Way supports services and programs that are not just “stop gap” measures, but ultimately preventative ones that create real and lasting change by improving peoples’ lives. Social issues are not limited to any one particular city or to one kind of family—they are everywhere. That’s why United Way works throughout Ventura County to help build stronger communities.
Education, Income, and Health.
No single group can address the complex problems that matter most. Through its Community Impact strategy, United Way engages the community to identify those areas where it can make the greatest difference. There are basic things that we all need for a good life: A quality education that leads to a stable job, income that can support a family through retirement, and good health.
United Way is focused on the building blocks for a better life:
- Education—Helping Children and Youth Achieve Their Potential
- Income—Promoting Financial Stability and Independence
- Health—Improving People’s Health
LIVE UNITED
Living united means being a part of the change. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future. Together, we can accomplish more than any single group can on its own.
