United Way Education Priorities
Goal: Increase the number of children aged 0-5 in the
Roanoke Valley that arrive prepared for the first day of
kindergarten as determined by tangible measurement tools.

children.
Outcome #2: Parents of children 0-5 become more
committed, confident and skilled in helping their children be
prepared for school.
Outcome #3: Community leaders and the public understand
the cost and benefits of, and actively support, early childhood
care and education both from the social service and economic
development standpoints.
United Way Education Priorities
Goal: Contribute to the statistically significant improvement of
the graduation rates within Roanoke Valley by enabling
students and their families to be better prepared to take
advantage of the opportunities provided by public education.
Outcome #1: Students are able to read and comprehend by
the end of third grade.
Outcome #2: Students are connected with help that they
need to stay in school beginning at an early age.
