THROUGHOUT OUR HISTORY,
UNITED WAY HAS BROUGHT
PEOPLE TOGETHER TO
STRENGTHEN COMMUNITIES.

Since launching in 2022, the OpportUNITY Summit has become a critical platform for addressing poverty and economic disparities in our region. Convening our region’s most influential business, nonprofit, civic, philanthropic, and government leaders, the Summit is designed to spotlight national and local experts in poverty and strategies for expanding opportunity for all. Each year, participation has grown with sold-out crowds in 2023 and 2024. Past Summits have featured notable speakers such as Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, managing partner of the Philadelphia Phillies John Middleton, Professor of Economics at Harvard University Raj Chetty, Xavier McElrath-Bey, and Carla Javits. 

The theme for the 2025 OpportUNITY Summit is “Lead with Purpose, Serve with Impact: The Power of Servant Leadership.”

The half-day 2025 Summit will include national speakers, sessions highlighting local leadership, and unique opportunities for those ready to actively engage in our region’s poverty-fighting initiatives.
