Student United Way

Young people across the country are helping to improve their local communities by giving, advocating and volunteering in the areas of education, income and health. This powerful movement called Student United Way, is helping to advance the common good. Student United Way is typically a campus based club or organization led for and by students. At the present time Student United Ways exist on fifty campuses across the United States including: technical & trade schools, junior and community colleges, colleges and universities, as well as one high school.
