The United Way of North Central Massachusetts describes itself this way:
"One word drives United Way – results. We
are focused on delivering a return-on-investment. It is more than how
much money was raised or the number of programs funded. It’s about
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, 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."
The United Way's focus on building blocks for a better life through education, income, health; The partnership with Ashoka Youth Venture and Mount Wachusett Community College for the United Way Youth Venture of North Central Massachusetts program focuses on a core United Way value: helping children and youth achieve their potential.
