Poverty is a complex social issue and will take significant effort to crush, but by leveraging resources smartly and working differently, equity can be realized and the insidious cycle of poverty in Erie County will be broken. United Way is investing in leveling the playing field for low-income children and their families who face barriers to success. Simply put, breaking the cycle of poverty means breaking down these barriers. We believe all children should have equal opportunity to receive a quality education!

At 160 Years, the Y is Here for Good
for 2019 and 2020 Data Includes 600 words of copy, photos, contact information and company logo.
United Way of Erie County is a local social impact organization on a mission to crush poverty in our community. We envision a collaborative community where all students succeed and all families thrive. That’s LIVING UNITED.
Very few organizations, for profit or nonprofit, are able to be relevant, nimble, connected and valued for 160 years as the YMCA of Greater Erie. From establishing Erie County’s first library to creating a program with aim to mainstream juveniles and working alongside law makers to develop legislation to fund after-school childcare, the Y has been here for good. Its mission remains unchanged: to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

investment in the future workforce of our community. To directly address the root causes of generational poverty, United Way brought the community schools model to Erie County in 2016. When a traditional public school is transformed into a community school, an entire culture shift takes place and resources are brought into the school building that address the specific barriers preventing students from being successful. A community school becomes a hub, rich with resources for students and their families. Community schools represent a strategy, not a program.
United Way simply could not carry out our mission of crushing poverty without dedicated corporate partners investing in this work.
There are currently 10 community schools serving more than 6,000 students and their families throughout Erie County in the Girard School District, Iroquois School District and Erie’s Public Schools. What is a community school corporate partner? Corporate Partners fund the Community School Directors (CSD), a critically important position. CSDs are employed by United Way (not the school district) but embedded in their respective community school, becoming the “co-pilot” to the principal and school team. Many Corporate Partners also offer valuable in-kind support in additional to their financial support. They understand this is not only an investment in our most precious human capital, but also a strategic

When young men migrated to urban centers from family farms looking for work, they relied on the Y for language education and job skills. When GIs got of their ships after WWII, young soldiers came to the Y as their “home away from home.” With the baby boom, families turned to the Y for childcare and family programs.

Within just 48 hours of the governor’s stay-at-home order, the Y applied for and received an exemption waiver to offer the “essential” workforce childcare service and support families with free meals for children. The Y moved health and well-being classes to online communities and created connections when it was necessary to be apart.
Food insecurity for children persists, and available school the Y is one of the only local nonprofits to continue its feeding program and experiences partners supplement school meal distribution.
There’s a bright future ahead, but the only way to get there is to evolve and adapt. Over the past 160 years, the Y has proven that by bringing together the best know-how, best people, best programs and best practices, it can reinvent itself to remain relevant and responsive to the community.
