Community Impact: EducationUnited Way of Passaic County believes that education is one of the building blocks of a good life. Education is essential for getting and keeping a good job, which in turn leads to financial stability for adults and families.
In Passaic County:
• Only 80% of residents (ages 25+) have a high school diploma.
• An average of 75% of students in Paterson graduate from high school.
• Our goal is to work in partnership with our community to increase high school graduation rates in our communities.
According to respondents of last year’s Passaic County Voices community survey, there is a significant shortage of positive activities outside of school for children over the age of 12.
Our goal is to increase the availability of positive activities for teens.
