Public Policy & Advocacy

Remember to vote, and stay informed on the candidates. Visit the Lehigh Valley chapter of the League of Women Voters for information about our candidates.

Policy change can be big or small. It can be urging your government to invest more in schools or enhancing the quality of services for our seniors. Or it can be mobilizing your contacts to speak out on a critical cause, in person or online. YOU can create positive change in your community. 
 
United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley’s public policy agenda reflects our work in education, healthy aging, food access and emergency services. We advocate for sound policies to build a stronger, healthier Lehigh Valley. As the largest privately-funded nonprofit in the world, we mobilize people to speak out for change and provide a platform for you to make a difference right here in our community. Change doesn’t happen without you! 
 

Public Policy & Advocacy Committee

United Way’s Public Policy Advocacy Committee determines whether it supports, opposes or remains neutral on issues and/or advocacy initiatives. We assess the progress of each issue monthly with a team of community volunteers who are experts in their fields and adjust our strategies to address our community's challenges. Interested in joining? Contact Beth Tomlinson.
