About us
United Way of San Diego County is improving lives by mobilizing the caring power of the San Diego community. Everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health. Our Vision United Way envisions a vibrant community built on opportunity for everyone. Our Mission To spark breakthrough community action that elevates every child and family toward a brighter future. The foundation for a child’s success starts with family stability. That’s why United Way is primarily invested in the early years: to set kids on the right path toward academic achievement. Because without a solid start in school, most kids won’t succeed. And without family stability – a supportive home, enough income to live, access to health care – a child can’t thrive in school. United Way helps fill in the gaps. We all benefit when our neighbors are successful and thriving. Join the movement! Stay updated on positive change in San Diego and be the first to hear about our events and opportunities to engage through volunteering and advocacy by subscribing to our bi-monthly newsletter at uwsd.org.

Take a look at the Capstone projects created by our Dream with STEAM summer program participants! To encourage cross-collaboration and relationship-building to expand their network, program participants were divided into groups based on their personalities and asked to reflect on their learnings and experiences during the program. During the program celebration, held at the end of the four weeks, each group presented to attending parents - truly a heartwarming and proud moment to witness! We are so proud of each student and the culmination of their teamwork!
