In 1963, Seattle held a World’s Fair looking forward to “Century 21.” President Johnson declared a “War on Poverty.” And a dozen Skagit business leaders came together to create a positive force for change in Skagit County by founding United Good Neighbors. In the past 50 years generous donors contributed over $22.5 million to support services to children, families, and seniors.

Today, United Way of Skagit County’s mission is to focus the COMMUNITY’S investment to create sustainable, positive change in people’s lives. We know we have the greatest impact on our communities by being much more strategic and deliberate in how we work. To advance the common good, we have to focus our

Encouraging the spirit of volunteering in our youth is the primary goal for Youth United: Varsity in Volunteerism (ViV). A terrific side benefit is that our local businesses and nonprofits received over 3000 hours of free help from local teenagers. This is a WIN-WIN!

Youth United – Varsity in Volunteering

United Way contributes the stipend for talented coaches (faculty advisors) at Sedro-Woolley and Concrete high schools. We also partner with WorkSource and Public Health District 304 to provide workshops on resume writing, interviewing and work-place behavior and Volunteer 101.

How does it impact the students? This is what Cassidy Bowers, a varsity volunteer at Sedro-Woolley High School shared:

“Two years ago I was quiet and shy. Nobody knew who I was – I don’t even think I knew who I was. All I knew was that I didn’t like being in the spotlight, and I enjoyed being alone. ViV gives me a level of confidence I never could have achieved before…. I’m not scared to have a voice, and I enjoy leading others.”~ Cassidy Bowers

The program starts at Burlington-Edison High School next year.
