VOLUNTEER
Individual and Small Group Volunteering
Volunteers are the heart of United Way. Volunteering can help you make a difference in someone’s life, learn or develop skills, improve your health, gain work experience, and even improves the likelihood that children will volunteer as an adult to name a few.
One-time Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer with us for, National Volunteer Week (April), MeaningFULL Meals, Trunk-or-Treat (October) or at many of our special events throughout the year. To learn more, call us at 336-378-5022.
Become a Mentor
Help children in our community succeed in school and in life. Mentoring a child requires a longer-term relationship that can fit your availability. Learn more about our Mentoring Matters initiative and search volunteer mentor opportunities.
Impact Councils & Grant Committees
Be a part of a team that reviews and recommends how United Way of Greater Greensboro can create the most significant impact. Their recommendations inform United Way’s investments. For more information about serving on an Impact Council or grant committee, contact Carie Barrow at 336-378-6613 or carie.barrow@unitedwaygso.org.
