Legacy Listening Session

United Way of Lancaster County will be celebrating 100 years in 2025. To prepare for the next century, our team is conducting listening sessions focused on United Way's pillars: education, economic mobility, health, and volunteering. The Legacy Listening Session findings will help shape the future of our organization. This month's session focused on education, and brought together leaders from school districts, charter schools, child care centers, Pre-K programs, and education non-profits. The conversation focused on what is working and what is not in the education sector, and how we can move forward together. 

We want to hear from you too! Take the survey below to make your voice heard about education in Lancaster County. The results will be used to fuel our future.
