How does one leadership program change a life?

Hear from former Youth United participant Rahlyn and her mother, Veronica, as they share how Youth United helped build confidence, inspire a lifelong passion for service, and shape the leader Rahlyn is today.

Their story is a powerful reminder that when you invest in young people, you're investing in the future of Northwest Georgia.

Back to school means more than new backpacks and fresh notebooks, it means making sure every student has what they need to start the year strong. 🎒📚

We loved being part of Murray County Schools’ Back to School Bash, connecting families with resources and sharing how United Way is here to help!

For ALICE families [Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed] the added expenses that come with a new school year can stretch an already tight budget. That’s why connecting families to resources, investing in education and literacy, and supporting opportunities for local youth are such important parts of our work.

Because when families have the support they need and students have the opportunity to succeed, our entire community is stronger. 🧡

Campaign season means: presentations, Impact Tours, conversations, and connections happening all across Northwest Georgia!

We’re in the office. We’re out in the community. We’re in corporate spaces, local businesses, and inside our Community Partners’ facilities.

Everywhere we go, we’re sharing the story of United Way: what we do, who we serve, and most importantly, how YOU are a part of it.

Because United Way isn’t just an organization. It’s our Community Partners opening their doors. It’s local businesses investing in their community. It’s employees choosing to give. It’s volunteers showing up. It’s neighbors helping neighbors.

There are so many ways to be part of the work happening right here at home.
United is the Way..and this is your United Way. 🧡
