Step up for Community – United Way of Northern Arizona

United Way of Northern Arizona brings people together so that we are United in Purpose.

We mobilize communities in Coconino, Navajo, and Apache counties to Step Up for Our Youth and Our Communities. We tackle the big challenges in early childhood development and positive youth development. We also ensure that the basic needs of safety and security are met for all who live here by directing resources where they are needed most, quickly and efficiently.

Please join us as we build a stronger community and a better future for northern Arizonans.

We can do more United.

Early Childhood Development

The experiences children have in their first five years will have a profound impact on their ability to succeed in school, work, and life.

We support programs that foster social and emotional development, cognitive language skills, and early literacy, mathematics and science learning.

Positive Youth Development

We convene conversations with our youth to best identify the support they need, including mental health and wellness needs.

We support programs that foster resilience in our youth and help them reach their full potential.

We foster diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, so all northern Arizona youth develop a strong sense of self-worth and belonging.

Safety & Security

United Way of Northern Arizona is on the front lines in times of crisis for individuals, families, and even entire communities.

We partner with local governments, businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations to ensure that basic needs are met every day, and marshal volunteers and financial support in times of crisis, such as wildfires, floods, and other emergencies.
