Every one of us wants a flourishing future for our children, one in which they’re able to achieve whatever they choose to pursue. That’s certainly Tyler’s case with his two sons, Eli and LJ, who attend the Willard Community Center’s after school and pre-K programs. Providing a strong foundation on which children’s social skills and school readiness can grow is crucial in getting students to that future – and it all begins in early childhood development.

Through funding of community initiatives like Willard Community Center’s preschool, after school and summer programs, the United Way Impact Fund ensures that no matter a child’s background, they’re given the same solid foundation for their futures as everyone else.
