It takes more than financial donations for United Way to continue our important work. Every year, United Way relies on the talents of hundreds of volunteers to work beside our staff and help make our efforts a success.
Volunteer leadership opportunities at United Way include:
VITA Volunteers - Volunteer Income Tax Assistance is a great volunteer opportunity in which you can help low-income working families where they need it most, in the pocketbook. Last year more than 130 volunteers were needed and this year the need is even greater.
Participation on Volunteer Review Teams
Community programs request funds from the Community Solutions Fund annually. The Volunteer Review Teams study each request and distribute funds to programs that best address community need. These volunteers then monitor each funded program quarterly to ensure your gift is having the most impact. We are still recruiting new volunteers for this role. Please contact Candy Markman for more information. Click here for a copy of the job description. Click here to meet some of our current VRT members.
Standing Committee Members
United Way volunteer committees and sub-committees maximize our ability to help people in the community and keep costs to a minimum by overseeing and providing counsel to performing various administrative responsibilities. Currently, there are committees for marketing, community investments, finance, human resources, information technology and others. United Way places volunteers on committees based on their area of professional expertise and interest.
Campaign Cabinet
Each year, United Way recruits volunteers to assist in our annual fund-raising campaign. It is because of these volunteers and their social, business and community networks that United Way campaigns are so successful.
