Community Volunteers

United Way brings together more than 40 local volunteers with diverse backgrounds in community planning, human service systems, research, needs and asset assessments, local government and more.

The Community Impact Committee, a sub-group of the Board of Directors, understands both United Way’s strategic framework and the ever-changing needs of the region. The group reviews data, research and best practices and maintain periodic contact with funded programs and agencies.

The Community Impact Committee is responsible for:

• Monthly meetings to monitor and assess community and human service needs;
• Making recommendations that enable United Way to effectively allocate resources; and
• Dispatching volunteers and building out a suite of initiatives and programs to meet the community’s needs.

In the past, United Way has convened multiple Action Councils as well as the Community Building Committee. Many members of these groups continue to serve on the new Community Impact Committee. The merging of these groups will lead to more ideas, richer conversations and an opportunity to grow our volunteers to be more engaged and involved.
