Our Work

ADVANCING THE COMMON GOOD IN NORTH IDAHO.

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’s work in the five northern counties is focused on these core pillars for a good life:

Youth Opportunity

At United Way of North Idaho, we want all kids to soar. So we work with the people who care for them — from families and neighbors, to schools and community agencies  — to connect young people with the support they need.

 

Healthy Community

Everyone should be able to make healthy choices for themselves and their families. But there can be lots of barriers in underserved communities. United Way of North Idaho's partnerships with local groups expand access to nutritious food and quality health care, education and services. 

 

Financial Security

Everyone deserves the opportunity to earn a living that can sustain a family and build security for future generations. That’s why we’re partnering to help more adults thrive in a career, live in quality housing and build generational wealth. 

Community Resiliency

United Way of North Idaho believes every community deserves to prosper. We work with our neighbors to build resilient communities that are more connected, supportive and ready to respond to any challenge. 

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’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.

Give. Advocate. Volunteer. LIVE UNITED.

What Does Impact Mean?
