Education

Perhaps no other “building block” is more essential to future success than a quality education. But sadly, many children in Hays County don’t have the same opportunity to learn, thrive, and succeed as others.

To help facilitate the success of ALL children in Hays County, United Way is working to implement programs through our Success by 6 initiative.

Success by 6 is the largest network of early childhood coalitions in the country. SB6’s programs and practices vary from community to community, but the goal, no matter what the community, is to focus on changing community conditions through leadership and different strategies to prepare children for school. A goal of UWHC SB6 is increasing kindergarten readiness in Hays County. SB6 will help children be ready to hit the ground running when they enter school, lowering the probability of falling behind at an early age and increasing the likelihood of success in both high school and higher education.

Please sign up for our e-newsletter to learn more about our SB6 initiative and the programs that we will be implementing soon.
