Chatham Success Network

United Way is committed to ending and preventing poverty for 2,000 people in 2,000 days (by 2030). To bring this vision to life, we are proud to announce the launch of the Chatham Success Network (CSN), an innovative, community-driven initiative designed to provide families with the support they need to thrive.
Empowering Families Through Collaboration

Beginning with Siler City Elementary, where poverty rates are significantly higher than the county average, the Chatham Success Network brings together a powerful network of community partners to provide seamless, wraparound services for families in need. These partners include:

  • Chatham County Department of Social Services
  • Chatham County Schools & McKinney Vento Program
  • Chatham Literacy
  • Communities in Schools
  • Partnership for Children
  • Salvation Army of Chatham
  • United Way (backbone support, family engagement resources, and evaluation services)

Making an Immediate Impact

Since the program’s launch, Maria Soto, the Chatham Success Network’s Family Navigator with Communities in Schools, has already enrolled the pilot program’s first clients. With personalized guidance, these families now have direct access to case management, education, housing assistance, and employment support, helping them access tools to achieve lasting stability.

Strengthening Our Community Together

The Chatham Success Network is more than a program; it’s a transformational partnership. By working together, agency representatives are better equipped to provide holistic support and break down barriers for families. Weekly partner meetings foster collaboration, problem-solving, and collective impact, ensuring no family falls through the cracks.

Already, families are feeling the difference. They express confidence in reaching their goals, knowing they have a dedicated support system behind them.
“True power lies in collaboration,” says Tych Cowdin, Executive Director of Communities in Schools. “When people come together to share ideas, they inspire new solutions, and collective wisdom paves the way for meaningful change.”
