United Way of Erie County is a local nonprofit in the civic and social sector focused on reducing poverty and increasing self-sufficiency by coordinating resources to improve community conditions. Based in Erie, Pennsylvania, it works with schools and community partners to address barriers affecting residents and families. A central program is the Community School model, which began in 2016 with five pilot elementary schools in the Erie Public Schools system and relies on partnerships with educational and health institutions. In 2020, the organization received a $2 million Full-Service Community Schools grant to advance this model in collaboration with UPMC Western Behavioral Health at Safe Harbor and Erie Public Schools. The organization operates with a small-to-mid-sized staff and maintains information about its work on its website.
