When we invest in young people, we invest in the future of Northern Arizona.

We're grateful to Health First Foundation for its generous $23,750 grant supporting KinderCamp™ and the YES! Conference.

From helping children build a strong foundation as they prepare for kindergarten to empowering teens with the confidence and leadership skills to shape their communities, this investment supports youth at some of life's most important milestones.

Together, we're creating more opportunities for children and young adults to learn, lead, and thrive.

Thank you, Health First Foundation, for believing in the potential of Northern Arizona's next generation.

A United Way Campaign Pacesetter is a local business that kicks off the annual workplace giving campaign by leading with generosity and encouraging others to join in.

Their support helps fund programs that strengthen early childhood education, prepare youth for success, connect families with resources, and build healthier, more resilient communities across Northern Arizona.

Being a Pacesetter isn't about being the biggest company. It's about being among the first to say, "our community matters."

As this year's campaign approaches, we're grateful for the businesses that continue to lead by example and help create opportunities for every child and family to thrive.

Strong communities don't happen by chance. They're built by people who choose to invest in the next generation.

That's why we're especially proud to celebrate Kristen Strauss's recognition as one of Northern Arizona's 2026 Young Professionals.

As United Way of Northern Arizona's Manager of Youth Programs & Education Initiatives, Kristen works every day to help young people discover their strengths, build confidence, and develop the leadership skills they'll carry into their schools, workplaces, and communities.

This recognition is more than a personal achievement—it's a reflection of the impact that happens when we believe in the potential of our youth.

Congratulations again, Kristen. Thank you for helping inspire the next generation of leaders across Northern Arizona.

When communities invest in children, everyone benefits.

We're grateful to the Arizona Community Foundation for its generous $20,400 grant supporting KinderCamp™ in Flagstaff.

This investment helps give young learners the opportunity to build confidence, strengthen early literacy and social-emotional skills, and begin kindergarten ready to thrive.

Together, we're creating brighter futures by ensuring more children have the support they need during one of the most important transitions in their education.

Thank you, Arizona Community Foundation, for believing in the potential of Northern Arizona's children.

August is National Make-A-Will Month—and creating a will isn't only about deciding what happens to your finances.

It's a way to make your wishes known, from naming guardians for children or pets to determining what happens to meaningful belongings and identifying who can make healthcare decisions on your behalf.

And getting started may be easier than you think.

United Way of Northern Arizona has partnered with FreeWill to provide a secure online tool that allows you to create your will at no cost, typically in about 20 minutes.

Take a few minutes this month to plan for the people—and things—that matter most to you. ❤️

The school day doesn't start with the first lesson—it starts the moment students walk through the door.

Arriving at school on time gives children the chance to settle in, connect with classmates and teachers, and begin the day ready to learn. Even a few missed minutes each morning can add up over the course of a school year.

At United Way of Northern Arizona, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to succeed. Sometimes, that starts with the small routines that help students begin each day with confidence.

Together, we can help children build habits that support learning today and success tomorrow.

Every KinderCamp™ student went home with a few extra tools to keep learning, exploring, and growing.

Thanks to Amazon Flagstaff, each student received an educational kit with a bag, reusable water bottle, activity book, pencil, and eraser.

These may seem like simple supplies, but they help children feel prepared, supported, and excited to keep building on everything they learned at KinderCamp.

We’re grateful to Amazon Flagstaff for investing in the potential of Northern Arizona’s youngest learners.

Children do their best learning when they feel their best.

Simple routines—getting enough sleep, eating a healthy breakfast, and starting the day prepared—help students arrive at school ready to learn, participate, and grow.

At United Way of Northern Arizona, we know that helping children succeed goes beyond the classroom. Supporting healthy habits today helps build confident learners, future leaders, and stronger communities tomorrow.

Every child deserves the chance to start the school day ready to reach their potential.

Every child deserves to walk into their first day of kindergarten believing they belong.

That's what KinderCamp™ is all about.

Over the course of one month, children build foundational literacy skills, gain confidence, make new friends, and become more comfortable learning in a classroom setting—all before the first school bell rings.

Parents told us they saw children who were more excited to learn, more confident communicating with adults, and more ready to start school. Teachers saw that growth reflected in their classroom assessments, too.

Because when children begin school with confidence, they're not just prepared for the first day—they're better equipped for everything that comes after.

Thank you to the many sponsors, educators, volunteers, and community partners who make KinderCamp possible each year. Together, we're helping Northern Arizona's youngest learners start strong. 💙
