The Director of Educational Programs will oversee and manage everything from the day-to-day operations to the long-term strategy of United Way of Westchester and Putnam’s school-based out-of-school time (OST) educational programs including its year-round Education United Program, which is funded in part by 21st Community Learning Centers grant, a LEAPS grant, a Westchester County Youth Bureau grant, and by parent-private pay.

At the United Way of Westchester and Putnam (UWWP) we believe thatWE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER and that it is only by beingUNITEDthat we can change the world for the better.

In Westchester and Putnam more than 40 percent of households are living in poverty or paycheck to paycheck, what we call ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). These are often hardworking families struggling to make ends meet and provide a better life for their children. But for these families, when funds run short, they are forced to make impossible choices between childcare, paying the rent, filling a prescription, or fixing a car.

They are our preschool teachers, home health aides, and retail salespeople – workers essential to keeping all our communities and economies humming, yet who struggle to pay their own basic bills.

We achieve results in three ways. First, by investing dollars or essential goods in programs with proven results. Second, by providing direct services to the community such as our free 211 Information and Referral Helpline, our Ride United Food Distribution program, our Education United free, bilingual OST program, and so much more. And finally, by fostering collaboration with community stakeholders, leaders, and partners to change the way we look at and solve problems.

Every year, we collaborate with hundreds of nonprofit partners and governmental agencies, and our work positively impacts hundreds of thousands of individuals.

Our United Way has a $12 million budget and 35 FT and 50 PT staffers, who collectively generate almost $36 million in impact for Westchester and Putnam families in crisis.

Our United Way has a purpose-driven, results-oriented, caring culture, that prioritizes the greater good, working hard, and getting things done, while building mutual trust amongst our teammates, taking risks, and having fun in the process.
