Corporate Volunteering

Volunteerism is a key component of many companies' philanthropic and community goals. United Way helps companies connect the volunteer power of their employees to where our community benefits the most.

Volunteering through the workplace benefits employees, corporations, and the community at large. Employees have the opportunity to put their skills and passion into action, companies demonstrate their corporate citizenship, and people’s lives are improved.

Employees benefit by:

• Building ties to the local community
• Learning new skills including leadership and supervision
• Strengthening relationships with colleagues
• Enhancing their relationship with and esteem for the company

Corporations benefit by:

• Gaining improved relations with members of their community
• Learning about critical community issues
• Building morale and sense of team spirit among employees
• Enhancing their ability to recruit and retain high-quality employees
