COMMUNITY EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP | United Way of Clallam County

United Way is working to help every person in every community get on a path toward financial security. That starts with access to education and training opportunities to prepare people for good-paying jobs with the potential to grow into long-term, sustainable careers.

This initiative is made possible by the generosity of our sponsors First Fed Foundation and Sound Community Bank.
