United Way of Southern Chautauqua County

The United Way of Southern Chautauqua County builds a stronger community by meeting the most important human care needs of our children, families, adults, and neighborhoods. We involve, organize, and motivate individuals and community organizations to identify needs and create positive change. United Way and its partners develop the resources needed to support these efforts, and use them effectively to achieve measurable results.

United Way of Southern Chautauqua County mobilizes the community to help people improve their lives.  In 2014, our Board of Directors adopted four Strategic Objectives to help define a more focused approach to promote positive change in our community.

• Increase the number of families with the necessary life skills to be self-sufficient.
• Increase the ready workforce by addressing the soft and hard skill gaps among young people an adults.
• Improve academic success by working directly with youth from cradle to career.
• Improve the health and independence of vulnerable populations.
