For decades, the United Way of Southeast Louisiana (UWSELA) has been a pillar of support for individuals and families in need. Through strategic partnerships, innovative programs, and dedicated community engagement, UWSELA works tirelessly to improve lives and build stronger, more resilient communities across the region.
A Mission of Empowerment
The mission of United Way of Southeast Louisiana is clear: to eradicate poverty and provide people with the resources they need to thrive. By focusing on education, financial stability, and health—three essential building blocks of a strong community—UWSELA ensures that individuals and families have access to opportunities that lead to lasting change.
Key Areas of Impact
1. Education
Education is a cornerstone of success, and UWSELA is committed to ensuring that children and young adults receive the support they need to excel academically and in life. Programs like the Success by 6 initiative help prepare young children for school, while mentoring and after-school programs provide students with the resources they need to graduate and succeed in their careers.
2. Financial Stability
Economic empowerment is vital for breaking the cycle of poverty. Through initiatives like the Prosperity Centers, UWSELA offers financial education, job training, tax preparation services, and emergency financial assistance to help individuals and families gain economic independence.
3. Health & Well-being
A healthy community is a thriving community. UWSELA funds and partners with organizations that provide essential healthcare services, mental health support, and nutritional assistance to ensure that individuals of all ages can lead healthier lives.
Disaster Response & Recovery
Southeast Louisiana is no stranger to natural disasters, including hurricanes and flooding. United Way of Southeast Louisiana plays a crucial role in disaster response and recovery efforts, providing emergency assistance, rebuilding homes, and offering long-term support to those affected by crises.
