Giving Children a Strong Start
When families are thriving, children are thriving.
A child’s earliest experiences – before they even enter school – can determine their ability to succeed for the rest of their lives. Mile High United Way believes that every child, regardless of zip code, should have a fair start in life. We are working to ensure all children in our community enter kindergarten ready to succeed.
