The application period for the 2024-25 Student United Way cohort is now closed, but read on to learn more about the program.
Together with Juniors and Seniors from other area schools you will experience and learn about the needs in New London County and visit non-profit agencies with programs that address our community’s most urgent challenges. While you volunteer, experience first-hand what it feels like to contribute to your community.
You’ll learn about philanthropy and be an important part of the decision-making process in awarding a local organization a $2,500.00 grant! Don’t know anything about fundraising or non-profit organizations? No worries – whatever your past experience or future path, we at United Way Southeastern Connecticut look forward to meeting you.
Students who successfully complete the program can:
- Fulfill volunteer hour requirements
- Explore interests in philanthropy and careers at non-profits
- Build valuable experience for job or school applications
- Receive a letter of recommendation
- Give back to their community
- Earn eligibility for a $500 drawing
