Success By 6

What do children need to be successful when they enter school?

There is no easy answer to this question, and no one agency, family or school can provide all the support a child needs to enter school healthy and prepared to learn.

United Way of Allen County is working to bring the community together to focus on the most critical investment we can make - the education of our children. Success By 6 is a community-based school readiness initiative. Working with public and private partners, United Way of Allen County is focused on finding innovative approaches that ensure all children, ages zero to six, are healthy, nurtured and ready to learn.

The Success By 6 approach encourages connections across our community, linking resources in new and effective ways to achieve a strong, self-sustaining system of care that will benefit all children.

Among the specific projects:

• Home-based services for parents.
• Cultural awareness training for community organizations.
• Financial and planning support for grass roots programs.
