Keep Kids on Track
Keep Kids on Track
When kids hit reading and math milestones, we know they are on track for college. We are providing tutors and small groups to make sure all kids receive the help they need to stay on track.
Change lives through reading
Become a volunteer literacy tutor and help young students succeed!
Research shows that the ability to read at grade level by the end of third grade helps students master complex subjects in fourth grade and beyond. Today, four out of five low-income students and two-thirds of U.S. fourth graders have missed this important milestone.
Together we can change this.
Healthy Meals Program
United Way’s Healthy Meals is working to dramatically increase the number of well-balanced nutritious (and FREE) meals that local children eat to give them the nutrition they need to learn, play and grow.

Summer Literacy Programs
The United Way Summer Education Program Convening Group is a network of summer education providers and housing complexes working together to provide enriching educational activities for children in the Sacramento area. As part of the larger Campaign for Grade Level Reading and the new Square One Project, the members of the Summer Education Program Convening Group work to prevent the summer slide so that kids are ready to start school the next year and stay on track to graduate.
Summer STARS
Helping kids reach new heights
Summer STARS ensures that every child in the Sacramento region at risk of falling behind in school stays on track for the next school year and has access to healthy meals and fun learning opportunities throughout the summer months.
