Education

Education is a cornerstone for success in school, work and life. It also benefits the whole community: high school graduates have higher earning potential, contribute more to their local economies, are more engaged in their communities, and are more likely to raise kids who also graduate on time.

Wiregrass United Way agencies that work with our community's youth take a comprehensive approach to education that spans all the way from cradle to career. The path to success begins early, and they work together to provide a strong foundation through early childhood development. Agencies then build on that foundation with impressive school-age programs that not only foster academic success, but enhance life skills and character development.
