Our Approach

Making local impact and driving global change.

We’re a community action network with deep local roots in tens of thousands of communities around the world. Our superpower is our ability to mobilize neighbors, donors, volunteers and partners from all backgrounds. And we unite toward a common goal: helping every person in every community thrive. 

Our approach is focused on local investment and making life better for everyone in the communities where we live and work. And our network — which has a presence in 34 countries and territories — has the knowledge and perspectives as well as the relationships and resources to drive change at a global level. 

Anyone who wants to do good in their community has a role to play with United Way. We believe in the power of people — united through a common purpose — to accomplish anything we set our minds to. Join us!
