United Way of Pierce County believes youth are
a vital part of community solutions. You are critical to a
healthy community, both now and in the future. If you are
not engaged in our community, what will the future hold for
our society?
Youth United offers young people the opportunity to discover and develop skills, to apply their academic knowledge through service learning activities and to receive recognition for their volunteer efforts. It is a way for young people to help others, have fun and learn something new.
