With a variety of options available for groups, United Way can help connect your colleagues, friends and family members to meaningful volunteer experiences that will engage and inspire. Whether you have an hour or an afternoon, our Volunteer and Community Engagement office is available to provide you with a quality experience that impacts lives.
We’ve worked with our partners in youth success, financial stability, health and basic needs to preschedule a variety of projects to meet a range of group sizes and interests. It’s easier than ever for your team to get involved. Learn more>>
We also believe it’s important to provide access for nonprofits to recruit volunteers and to help individuals connect to community efforts. Check out the community-wide project calendar for additional opportunities across Northeast Florida. Learn more>>
If a prescheduled volunteer project doesn’t meet your team’s needs, United Way can create a new project to make a difference at an agency partner’s location. All customized projects will require a budget to cover the cost of materials and staffing as determined by project type and group size. If you are interested in a custom project, please contact Erica La Spada here.
Host a volunteer event at your office, community facility or home. United Way will provide and coordinate all the materials and will provide a staff member for set up, break down, and to lead the event. Learn more>>
Holding a donation drive can be a creative and collaborative team-building exercise. United Way has a variety of drive suggestions that will fill an important need in the community. Learn more>>
Our custom project list has other unique experiences. United Way will facilitate a “Meet ALICE” poverty simulation exercise for your employees. A popular choice, the two to three-hour exercise is a great way to learn more about hard-working families who struggle every day. The simulation offers participants a realistic approach to walking in an ALICE family’s shoes by simulating one month of poverty. Following the exercise, participants will share feedback about their experience during a debriefing session. Learn more>>
