Empowering Children & Youth Through Education
At United Way of Naugatuck & Beacon Falls, we believe that investing in our children’s education today builds a stronger, more vibrant community tomorrow. By expanding opportunities for learning and positive development, we help ensure that every child can reach their full potential.
From early childhood programs that set the foundation for lifelong learning, to youth initiatives that build confidence, skills, and leadership, our work supports a cradle-to-career approach. Together with parents, families, schools, and caring community members, we’re helping local children thrive.
Our commitment includes:
- Early Care and Education Outcome: Ensuring Naugatuck & Beacon Falls children from birth to age five have expanded access to quality early educational experiences that prepare them for future success.
- Positive Youth Development Outcome: Creating more opportunities for children and youth ages 5-18 to learn, grow, and experience success both inside and outside of the classroom.
Through strong partnerships and the support of volunteers and donors, we’re paving the way for a brighter future for every young person in our community.
