CEO Corner
Back-to-school support is about more than notebooks and pencils—it’s about giving students the stability and opportunities they need to thrive. In her latest blog, CEO Keisha Browder shares how United Way Bay Area is helping families prepare for success inside and outside the classroom. From easing financial strain to fostering community partnerships, this work ensures every child has the chance to learn and grow.
We’re out to change that by building a more equitable Bay Area.
