Real change begins with an exchange of ideas and information that inspires others to act. Each member of the United For Change Association recognizes the potential for change and is committed to ongoing discussions that, in turn, are designed to enlist others to take action. Through perseverence, commitment, and an unwavering passion, our group is united in its efforts to bring about change in the lives of students who represent our future. We look forward to keeping the conversation going. We hope you join us as we stand United for Change!

​Our association just completed its fifth year of providing students from over 21 school districts across Nassau County, and now Suffolk County as well, with the United for Change Memorial Scholarship.
We proudly share pictures from some of the awards programs attended where this year's recipients were presented with their well-deserved award, which included a check for $1000.  
Over the last five years, the United for Change Association has awarded over $76,000. 


As always, thank you to those who have contributed to UFC. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.  The members of our association are already looking forward to our sixth year of providing the United For Change Memorial Scholarship to those students who demonstrate that they are committed to providing positive change within their respective communities. Looking ahead, we hope we can continue to count on your generouse contributions, which will help to make a difference in the lives of the recipients of this scholarship. As we did last year, we will provide periodic updates of the donations we have received. It is our hope that we can exceed last year's amount, which will enable us to present additional scholarships.
