Educational attainment is a significant predictor of whether children and youth will achieve their full potential and is closely related to the ability to attain economic self-sufficiency. While we have made strides in improving the ability of Palm Beach County's children to succeed at critical points in their lives, there is still much work to be done. That's why United Way is supporting programs that help our youth graduate on time and successfully transition to work or to college.
