Values
The United Way of Leavenworth County is a compassionate, understanding and empathetic organization that embraces diversity, and respects people of all religious, cultural, social and economic backgrounds.
Our Community Impact Agenda
- Invest in Caring – Assisting people in crisis with vital basic services to help them get back on their feet.
- Invest in Empowering – Helping families and individuals achieve greater self-sufficiency by empowering them with skills and knowledge.
- Invest in Learning – Providing children, youth and adults with opportunities for quality learning and skill development; and organized social, cultural and recreational activities.
We mobilize the community for social change, and are committed to addressing current problems and reducing future needs. We work to invest community resources in programs of Partner Agencies and impact initiatives that generate results in education, health, income, and basic needs. We are about solutions, not just services; outcomes not outputs.
Considering the growing need in our community for critical services, a systematic approach is even more important to ensure the maximum return on investment for donor dollars. To ensure this, we use research-based practices and dedicated community volunteers to find the most critical needs facing our county and evaluate the ability of programs to meet those needs.
If you are interested in helping people and improving communities through evaluating programs of community partner agencies and working to discover how we can collectively change lives and effect permanent change, click here(link) to contact us for information on becoming a Community volunteer. If you are a current volunteer working with us, Thank You!
