Strategic Direction
United Way of York Region has many partners along our journey towards building stronger, healthier communities: donors, agencies, corporate and labour partners, political, and community leaders. Their perspectives are different and their views disparate at times, but the common thread that all groups share is the understanding that businesses succeed in strong communities. We all value quality of life. We all understand that quality of life for one group is connected to the well-being of those around them. We’re all in this together.
Our Board of Directors, Campaign Cabinet and Community Investment Committee lead a dedicated organization that is proud to be one of Canada’s fastest growing United Ways.
