| Advancing the Common Good: Creating Opportunities for a Better Life for All |
Everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.
That’s why United Way’s work is focused on the building blocks for a good life:
* Education – Helping Children and Youth Achieve Their Potential
* Income – Promoting Financial Stability and Independence
* Health – Improving People’s Health
Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are all connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy.
United Way’s goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of these problems. Living united means being a part of the change. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future. Give. Advocate. Volunteer. LIVE UNITED.
Mission
Improving the lives of Johnson County residents by uniting people and resources through community partnerships.
Vision
Collaborate with all community stakeholders to provide all Johnson County residents the opportunity to create positive sustainable change.
