united way has adopted, in partnership with dozens of community partners, a "yardstick" for child well-being - a set of 14 measures that allow us to assess how well children and families are doing by zip code across 13 counties. United way's programs are designed to move the needle on these critical measures. Its focuses are on creating strong foundations for children to grow, thereby providing opportunities for success despite adverse conditions, as well as nurturing communities that need wraparound support. For every measure of child well-being, there is a multitude of factors that can adversely influence outcomes and a series of actions we can take that can change these outcomes for the better. When we consider all potential solutions they help us move the needle - evidence-based strategies, innovative programs, policies, volunteerism, among others.
