United Way of York County is on a mission to assist working households on their journey toward financial stability.
With that mission in mind, we've introduced childcare programs to help York County families access high-quality learning opportunities at an affordable cost.

Every Child Has Opportunities (ECHO)
United Way of York County is a proud funding partner in Every Child Has Opportunities (ECHO). This is an early childhood education initiative led by Community Connections for Children and York County Economic Alliance.
The goal of ECHO is to double the number of children from low-income families in York County who have access to high-quality early childhood education. This is equivalent to 1,600 additional 0-6-year-olds. Together, we will utilize a strategic and targeted approach, addressing immediate, crisis issues while developing solutions to long-term, chronic issues.
