EDUCATION: Success By 6®

Education is the cornerstone of individual and community success. It's essential to getting and keeping a job with a livable wage. And it's fundamental to a community's economic prosperity: a well-educated and skilled workforce attracts world-class jobs.

United Way of Morris County's Success By 6® Action Team works to ensure that all children – from birth to six-years-old – receive quality early learning experiences that prepare them for success in school and beyond.

The Success By 6® Action Team engages volunteers and provides them with opportunities to get close to education issues affecting our Morris County communities. Members meet regularly to discuss community problems, and to provide expertise and insight on how to better meet community needs.
