The United Way Northwest Indiana Level Up Program is a revolutionary initiative designed to break the cycle of poverty and enable individuals to achieve financial stability. The program involves targeted interventions such as professional skills development, financial literacy workshops, and personalized mentoring. The goal is to equip participants with the necessary tools to navigate their way toward self-sufficiency, fostering a sense of empowerment and independence.

Level Up provides a comprehensive roadmap for participants to pursue their goals and build financial capacity and is only hindered by the amount of effort that the client contributes.
Through personalized pathways, participants are able to gain marketable skills that are applicable to the real world. Additionally, the program offers assistance with homeownership, budgeting, and credit repair so that participants can make sound financial decisions about their future.

By focusing on long-term financial capabilities and increased access to workforce development resources through a support network of local business and educational institution partners, Level Up is paving the way toward brighter futures for individuals in Northwest Indiana to ensure that participants access the resources they need to succeed.

Level Up helps build bridges between struggling, working individuals and better paying employment opportunities. As a result, many past participants have been able to pursue higher education, secure well-paying jobs, decrease debt and purchase their own homes.

Level Up is a beacon of hope for residents by offering them an opportunity to be financially independence. By providing resources and guidance, this program is empowering participants to take control of their future.
