United Way Of Greater New Haven Inc

We are also focused on helping children grow, learn, and thrive by supporting high-quality learning experiences beginning at birth. We manage an early head start program that provides full-day, full-year child care and comprehensive services for eighty-eight infants and toddlers and their families. Our secure start intiative provides classes and coaching to help parents, caregivers, and child care providers create strong, healthy relationships with young children. We are also leading a strategic planning process around early childhood in new haven, and providing grants to enhance the quality of care and expand the availability of child care in new haven. We also support community organizations that offer after-school and summer programs, helping to build their capacity to meet young people's learning needs and promote their emotional well-being. We serve as the managing partner for the new haven tutoring initiative, which provides math and literacy tutoring during out of school time programs.

United way is also working to get more people on firm financial footing by connecting them to job training and job supports that lead to quality jobs, as well as connecting people with financial services and supports that allow them to save for their personal goals, such as free tax assistance and financial literacy classes. United way also provides community navigators to connect people who are seeking to improve their financial stability with community services.
