We are looking for volunteers to participate on United Way's volunteer advisory teams. Our volunteer advisory teams include: the health team, the education team, the financial stability team, and the essential services team. VAT team members are a critical part of the competitive grant process that funds programs that support United Way’s focus areas of health, education, financial stability and essential services.

  • Meetings typically begin at 4 p.m. The total time commitment for each year is approximately 30 hours, and volunteers are asked to make a minimum commitment of two years.
