United Way of Northern Arizona — Help Them Reach Their Potential

Help Our Children & Teens

Reach Their Full Potential

A teenage girl gains confidence by being a Girl Scout, and discovers deep wells of resourcefulness and flexibility when the pandemic throws a wrench in her plans.
A homeless boy receives life coaching at his shelter that enables him to successfully find and keep a job, breaking the cycle of poverty.
A cohort of 6th graders learn about the natural wonders of northern Arizona at Camp Colton, sparking a drive to be better stewards of the earth.

These stories are all the result of United Way of Northern Arizona’s commitment to positive youth development.

You can Step Up for our youth with your gift and help ensure our children reach their full potential and become competent, confident, and caring adults.

Just look at Emily’s story and how she adapted and persevered while trying to educate others about the importance of bees.

Positive youth development focuses on providing experiences that instill the soft skills that are so vital in almost all areas of our lives, whether it’s being a good citizen, a productive employee, a caring parent or a future leader.

Through the power of your donation, UWNA is able to provide substantial support to the programs that mentor and guide our youth, helping them navigate the journey to adulthood.

Please step up for your community with a donation to UWNA and show your support for our future. If you provide your gift through your place of employment, check with your human resource department about this year’s workplace campaign. You can also donate online here.

Thank you for Stepping Up and contributing to this year’s annual campaign. Together, we can provide much needed resources for the next generation.
