Applications are closed for the current cohort. Stay tuned for details on the 2024-25 session.
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
Please note that because the 2023-24 Student United Way cohort can accommodate only 20 students, we ask you to review the schedule and make a commitment to attend. Only students who successfully complete the program (attend at least 10 out of 12 complete sessions) are eligible for program benefits, including a letter of recommendation and entry into the $500.00 cash award drawing.
Session times, dates, and locations vary, and students are responsible for their own transportation.
