Creating Opportunities for Better Lives for All In Kern County

Everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life, a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health. That's why United Way of Kern County's work is focused on the building blocks for a good life:

Learn Well. Earn Well. Live Well.

Education

Helping Children and Youth
Achieve Their Potential
Through Education Programs

Income

Helping Families Become
Financially Stable and Independent

Health

Improving People's Health

Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are all connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy.

United Way of Kern County's goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of these problems. LIVING UNITED means being a part of the change. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future.
