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 Trunk or Treat (October), National Volunteer Week (April), Day of Action (June), MeaningFULL Meals (July) or at a special event. All year, you can find individual volunteer opportunities with our partner The Volunteer Center of Greensboro.
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 Frank McCain at 336-378-6609 or frank.mccain@unitedwaygso.org.
Corporate Volunteering
Employee volunteer programs are more than a “feel good” venture. Including volunteerism as a component of your company’s corporate social responsibility and engagement strategy has measurable benefits.
Make United Way a part of your strategy. Engage employees in volunteerism during National Volunteer Week (April), Day of Action (June), MeaningFULL Meals (July) or at a special event. Consider hosting a volunteer service project during your United Way workplace campaign. Contact your workplace campaign account manager to explore the possibilities or call us at 336-378-6600.
