United Way of Snohomish County

OUR CORE WORK

Our work is called CORE: Creating Open Roads to Equity. It’s bold, innovative, and is already changing the way local nonprofits, public partners, and private businesses work to help families in our community. CORE moves whole families out of the traps of poverty through a collaborative and 2-Generational approach serving both children and the adults in their lives, together

Creating Open Roads to Equity (CORE) is about placing the whole family at the center of a collaborative partnership where multiple nonprofit, public, and private partners are working together to meet not only the needs of the child, but those of the entire family.

We are adopting two very promising national models: Collective Impact and a 2-Generational approach. Together, our new work helps place children birth to age 8 and their families with low income at the core of our communities to address root causes and unlock access to family success.
