United Way of Greater Union County continues to strengthen its impact across the region through expanded youth-focused initiatives led by Director of Youth Programs, Almetra Marie Alston.
Alston is helping drive a coordinated approach that connects education, health, and financial stability resources to youth and families throughout Union County. The organization’s programs are designed to address immediate needs while building long-term pathways to opportunity.
Through targeted support services, students gain access to academic enrichment, wellness resources, and family-centered programs that reinforce stability at home. These efforts aim to reduce barriers and create consistent support systems that help young people succeed both in and out of the classroom.
Alston emphasized that community-based programming plays a key role in long-term outcomes. By aligning resources across sectors, United Way is working to create sustainable change that benefits not just individuals, but entire neighborhoods.
United Way of Greater Union County continues to position youth development as a core priority, with ongoing investments in programs that strengthen families and expand access to opportunity across the community.
