Research proves that a quality education is the best path out of poverty. This path begins with early childhood education and can stretch all the way through adulthood. However, many Hoosiers in Central Indiana struggle to access the educational resources they need. 

United Way is working to address educational needs by investing in community-based partners doing impactful and innovative work in education, providing support to build capacity with early childhood education providers, and advocating for statewide funding for access to high-quality pre-K. United Way uses the two-generation (2Gen) approach to build family well-being, recognizing that working simultaneously with children and the adults in their lives can amplify the impacts of our investment in education. 

The snapshot below contains current education data and the impact of programs to support individuals and families, as reported by United Way and its partners in impact.
