Volunteer

At United Way of Southeastern Connecticut volunteers are at the heart of what we do.  They bring the passion, expertise and resources needed to get things done. United Way is able to keep its administration and fundraising costs low due to the hundreds of volunteers who donate their time each year.

Although, we do not have a one-to-one volunteer matching program we do accept volunteer requests and review them on an individual by individual basis. You may forward your resume along with your specific interests to wecare@uwsect.org. 

There are many volunteer opportunities within southeastern Connecticut. If this is your first time exploring volunteer opportunities, please click here for our Volunteering Tip sheet. Also, there are many opportunities for area youth to volunteer, click here for a listing.

We do offer Day of Caring opportunities for groups of employees to work on one-time volunteer projects. This program is a valuable free labor service for our partner agencies and a great team building opportunity for our corporate partners. Day of Caring is also a great way to explore and understand the work of United Way partner agencies. If you are interested in signing your team up for a United Way Day of Caring, contact Lamar Spruill at 860.464.3315 or via email at lamar.spruill@uwsect.org.
