Volunteers are the lifeblood of United Way and its agency partners. Non-profit organizations could not survive without them.

United Way of Allen County's primary volunteer opportunity is with our Education Network, an initiative designed to connect community members with organizations that provide opportunities to work with local children to help them be successful in school and life. Please see below for more information.

Other community-wide volunteer opportunities are available through the Volunteer Center @ RSVP and NeighborLink. Please see below for more information.

United Way Education Network

By volunteering your time, you can make a lasting impact on a child’s life. And by helping a child succeed, you will ultimately help our community grow and flourish.
Welcome to the United Way Education Network —  a growing group of local early childhood and youth-serving agencies that work in collaboration with United Way to provide opportunities for volunteers to work with children in our community. Visit www.UWEducationNetwork.org to find a searchable listing of opportunities at participating agencies. There is something for everyone — see what works best for you!

Community Volunteer Opportunities

United Way partners with the Volunteer Center @ RSVP and NeighborLink for volunteer opportunities. The Volunteer Center has a wide range of volunteer opportunities and can be contacted at www.volunteerfortwayne.org.

For residents seeking help with a work project, such as yardwork, Neighbor Link is a good source for help. The project can be posted and volunteer groups can choose to help complete the project. United Way encourages individuals needing help with projects to contact NeighborLink. Individuals seeking community service projects should also contact Neighborlink at http://www.neighborlinkfortwayne.org.

In addition, volunteer opportunities exist at our 34 agency partners  or, for other community volunteer opportunities, follow these links:
