At KinderCamp™ at Killip Elementary School in Flagstaff, one incoming kindergartener was facing more than just first-day-of-school nerves.

He had recently moved to the United States and didn’t speak English. His parents worried about what that could mean for him in the classroom — and whether he would be able to make friends.

During KinderCamp, teachers worked with him individually on language acquisition while making sure he was included in classroom activities with the other children.

By the end of the program, he was speaking basic English in full sentences and having positive interactions with his teachers and classmates.

That’s what Youth Opportunity can look like.

It’s not simply preparing a child for what they’ll learn in kindergarten. It’s helping them walk through those doors with more confidence, connection and readiness for everything that comes next.

And it happened right here in northern Arizona.

A healthy community is about more than physical health.

On World Mental Health Day, we’re reminded that mental health is part of the health of our entire community.

Through its Healthy Communities focus, United Way of Northern Arizona works to connect people with the resources and support that help individuals and families across Coconino, Navajo and Apache counties thrive.

Because a stronger Northern Arizona is one where taking care of each other includes taking care of our mental health, too.

A stronger Northern Arizona doesn’t come down to solving just one problem.
It means helping a child have more opportunities to learn and grow.

Helping a family build greater financial stability.
Making sure people can access the resources and support they need to live healthier lives.
And building communities that are ready to respond and recover when challenges hit close to home.

That’s why United Way of Northern Arizona focuses its work in four areas:
🎓 Youth Opportunity
💰 Financial Security
❤️ Healthy Communities
🤝 Community Resiliency

They may sound like four separate priorities, but in real life, they’re deeply connected.

Because when kids have opportunities, families are stronger. When families have stability and support, communities are healthier. And when our communities are connected, Northern Arizona is better prepared for whatever comes next.

Four areas of focus. One stronger Northern Arizona.

What does it really mean to give local?
It means the impact stays close enough to see.

It looks like a teen walking into a Coconino or Flagstaff High classroom more confident and ready to learn.
A family putting dinner on the table during a month when the numbers just aren’t stretching far enough, with help from the local food center.
A neighbor finding caregiver support when life changes unexpectedly.
A community that knows how to come together when wildfire, flooding or another emergency hits close to home.

It’s the kids growing up here. The families you pass at the grocery store. The neighbors you see on the trails at Buffalo Park. The communities we call home across Coconino, Navajo and Apache counties.

When you give through United Way of Northern Arizona, you’re helping strengthen the place where we live, work, learn and raise our families.

Because “local” isn’t just a location on a map.
It’s home.

Save the date, Northern Arizona! 📅

On October 29, at the United Way of Northern Arizona's 2026–2027 Annual Campaign Breakfast—we'll be bringing our community together around a shared vision for what's possible when we work United.

More opportunity for our youth.
Greater health for our neighbors.
More financial security for local families.
Stronger communities across Northern Arizona.

Because creating lasting change isn't the work of one organization, one business or one person.

UNITED IS THE WAY.

📅 October 29th

Save the date and join us as we come together to take action and provide resources so all can thrive.

Sometimes financial stability can come down to one unexpected expense.

A car repair means you can't get to work. Missing work makes it harder to cover rent. A problem that started on Monday can look very different by the end of the month.

That's why financial security is about more than what's in someone's bank account.

It's about whether people have access to resources that can help them navigate a setback, build stability and keep moving forward.

Across Northern Arizona, we invest in organizations helping individuals and families do exactly that—from financial education and legal assistance to affordable housing resources.

And that same idea extends beyond individual families.

When wildfire, flooding or another crisis affects one of our communities, resiliency means having strong local organizations, resources and relationships already in place to respond.

Stronger families help create stronger communities. And stronger communities are better prepared for whatever comes next.

That's what financial security and community resiliency mean to us. ❤️

Sometimes supporting your child means sitting down together over homework.

And sometimes it means knowing where to find a little extra support.

Across Northern Arizona, local organizations are helping kids build skills, helping parents feel better equipped to support learning at home, and giving families places to turn when they need additional resources.

Through Community Investment, United Way of Northern Arizona is proud to support programs like:

Boys & Girls Club of Flagstaff’s “Power Hour,” Chicanos Por La Causa’s Parenting Arizona and Tynkertopia’s hands-on STEM learning.

Because helping kids succeed is community work — and UNITED IS THE WAY.

Every fall, parents ask themselves some version of the same question: Am I doing enough to help my child succeed in school?

The good news? Supporting your child doesn’t have to mean adding something big to an already-full schedule.

Getting them to school every day. Building a consistent home routine. Setting boundaries around screen time. Asking about their day — and really listening. Helping connect what they’re learning at school to everyday life.

These everyday habits can add up to meaningful support throughout the school year.

And when your family needs a little extra help, you don’t have to figure it out alone. United Way of Northern Arizona is proud to support local nonprofit partners helping families across our communities put these habits into practice every day.

UNITED IS THE WAY.
