Spokane County United Way is focused on reducing the educational achievement gap.
THE ONE THING
Spokane County United Way fights to support healthy family relationships, increase high school graduation rates, and improve the financial stability of families.
Locally low-income and minority students are struggling to graduate at a disproportionate rate, creating an educational achievement gap. Our work is focused so that every child is supported both in and out of the classroom to stay on track and succeed in school and life.
Today 36% of people in our community struggle to make ends meet each month leaving them vulnerable for eviction or foreclosure if their incomes are disrupted. Our work ensures access to resources and provides financial education and opportunity to create financial mobility.
We all have a stake in creating a more educated, healthy, and prosperous community. Volunteers are at the heart of every community. We work to connect our community's needs with our community's talents.
