Our Focus
Our youth are under stress, as evidenced by the number of children living in unstable home conditions, the rising trend in death by suicide among youth, and the lack of life – and decision-making skills that have led to problem behaviors and outcomes, causing harm to our youth and our community.
Our youth need – and want – social, educational, and community support to succeed. The United Way – with our community partners – will address the critical community need.
Serving the Flagstaff community since 1967, United Way of Northern Arizona is more committed than ever to collaborate with our valued partners to coordinate efforts and leverage resources to invest in the power and potential of successful and resilient youth.
This is our community and our future. We are focused and determined to achieve our shared purpose. This is the new United Way of Northern Arizona.
Faced with no income and no options, Brian and his wife Anne lost their home and found themselves living in their car. With no place to prepare meals and very little money, they discovered the Summer Café free kids’ meals at a local school. There, they learned of the Flagstaff Family Food Center. That evening, Brian, Anne, Jack and Amber enjoyed their first hot meal in over 3 weeks.
Brian & Anne 
Julia was 14 years old when she left home; a home where she was being physically and emotionally abused.
For the next 20 years, Julia lived in a series of crisis centers, shelters and abusive relationships.
In 2018, Julia and her 3-year-old daughter found a safe home at Sharon Manor. Through case management and group counseling sessions, Julia learned to become confident in her ability to make healthy life choices for her and her daughter.

Our Goals
We will achieve our purpose through the realization of these goals:
- Engage as a partner in community-based initiatives.
- Communicate the passion and purpose of the “new” United Way of Northern Arizona with City and County leaders, nonprofit partners, workplace partners, prospective individual and institutional donors, and the collective Flagstaff community.
- OVERSEE AND ADMINISTER SELECTED INITIATIVES WHERE OUR EXPERTISE AND RESOURCES PROVIDE CAPACITY AND STRENGTH.
Take Action Today and Make a Difference
Community involvement is critical to our success, and the success of our youth. Our donors include corporations, workplace volunteers, individuals and foundations. To make a difference now, we encourage you to give, advocate and/or volunteer for collaborative projects that assist our youth in building key life skills.
Consider the difference the United Way of Northern Arizona has already made with your valuable help. As many as 87,000 mentoring hours have been provided to youth. More than 45,000 books have been given to our children. What’s more, 387 children have completed KinderCamp™, a school-readiness program that helps children become better prepared for kindergarten.
If you’d like to have a say in how we invest in the power and potential of youth, you can become one of our local volunteers. As a volunteer, you may review applications and conduct site visits to our partners, ultimately recommending how the community impact funds should be disbursed. The final funding decisions are made by our Board of Directors, who are community members, just like you. To give today, click the button below.

KinderCamp™ 2024 was four weeks of endless adventures: pretending to explore space or go on safari, participating in basketball drills with college athletes, going on field trips, meeting firefighters, authors, and the tooth fairy, and much more!🧑🚀🏀🔥🦷✨
But the most important achievement of this year’s camp was instilling more than 150 children with an excitement about going to school and helping them gain academic and social skills they need to be successful in kindergarten. 📚

2024 has been a big year for KinderCamp™. 🎒
During “bridging over” ceremonies in Flagstaff and Williams, KinderCamp graduates were presented with Teal Tickets by Coconino Community College President Eric Heiser, entitling them to attend CCC on a full scholarship once they graduate from high school. 🎓
Meanwhile, a major investment in our program by the NARBHA Institute will allow us to expand to other northern Arizona communities. The Holbrook Unified School District has already announced plans to host the program in 2025. 🖍️
Many thanks to our partners - and to individual donors like you - who make KinderCamp possible. ❤️
