Mile High United Way partners with leading advocacy organizations in metro Denver to create lasting solutions for the most vulnerable people in our community.

Mile High United Way will support and advocate for policies that help prepare young children for success when they enter school, enable at-risk youth to graduate from high school and help individuals and families achieve financial stability.

Check back to find out more about our advocacy work in our three life-changing initiatives:

Children from low-income families are prepared to succeed when they enter school.

Mile High United Way embarked on an ambitious plan in 2006 to raise $250 million over five years in order to create a better future for people in our community. We are focusing on three related initiatives School Readiness, Youth Success and Adult Self Sufficiency. We will accomplish our objectives through the work of our partners and by leading strategic collaborations that bring together service agencies, government, businesses and foundations to focus on specific strategies. We will also work with community leaders to craft public policy that enables systemic solutions that will create a healthier, more vibrant community for us all.
