Why Volunteer with United Way?

Feel Connected to Solutions

When you volunteer with United Way, we promise you will:

  1. Make a meaningful impact for our neighbors in need.
  2. Meet other incredible people who love our community, just like you.

United Way hosts volunteer projects year-round that are perfect for individuals, families, and groups. Custom volunteer opportunities are also available for organizations and corporations.

Become a Mentor

1 hour a week can change a youth’s life!

With all that our world is facing today, it’s more important than ever for kids to have a caring adult in their life who will encourage and empower them through real life decisions. Right now in Palm Beach County, 1,050 kids are waiting to be matched with a mentor. It takes one person to make a difference in a child’s life. You can be that person.

Become a VITA Volunteer

Help Working Families Succeed

As we enter the program’s twenty first year of service, United Way needs your help recruiting 200 volunteers! A commitment of four hours per week is required during tax season. We offer 16 VITA convenient site locations throughout Palm Beach County and a flexible schedule including weekdays, evenings and weekends.

Volunteering for the VITA Program is an extremely rewarding opportunity! No experience is required and there are opportunities that don’t involve preparing taxes.
