United For Youth
Granite United Way is dedicated to ensuring our youth have the opportunity to succeed. By partnering with schools, community organizations, and local businesses, Granite United Way provides our youth with the resources and support they need to reach their full potential, and in turn, build stronger, more resilient communities. The following initiatives focus on empowering young people to develop the cognitive and social skills they need to succeed in school, stay active and healthy, and build leadership skills and become active, engaged members of their communities.
The "Leader in Me” Program is a transformational school-based program based on Steven Covey’s The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. The program integrates leadership development into the classroom curriculum, activities, faculty/staff development, and physical space, building resiliency and a cultural transformation in children that need it most.
Students as young as age five learn how to track their own attendance and academic performance, complete applications and interviews for classroom jobs, and develop and implement service projects to address school and community needs. The Leader in Me is not a class; it’s a way of life. It creates healthy habits in students and staff that encourages them to set goals, positively influence others, and share their talents with their community.

This Partnership reduces barriers like travel, cost, and accessibility for youth to access enrichment activities. It allows youth to engage in evidence-based interventions that drive academics, soft skills, and health behaviors at no cost.
