Helping Children and Youth Achieve Their Potential

Local children and youth need nurturing, support and opportunities to succeed in school and life to reach their full potential.

United Way of Kern County is financially supporting programs and partnering organizations that improve school readiness, improve third-grade reading achievement and help foster youth success.

• Ready to Start
• Raising a Reader
• Community Reading Project
• Helping Foster Youth Succeed

We all win when a child succeeds in school.

The reality is that children are constantly learning, right from birth. What they learn during those first five years depends on the experiences they have each and every day. United Way of Kern County promotes Born Learning which is built on three cornerstones: awareness, education and action.
