Education

United Way of Eagle River Valleyworks to make sure children and youth can start school ready to succeed, become proficient readers at a young age, stay on track in middle school, earn their high school diploma, trade or pursue a college degree.

Income

United Way of Eagle River Valley believes that by empowering residents to get on stable financial ground we must partner with organizations that focus expanding and building on financial health and wellness.

The result of these three focus areas is a thriving community, where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
