Community investment volunteers guide critical investment decisions. Help us ensure that money is invested in the highest performing programs and making the most measurable, meaningful change by volunteering!

Work with approximately 60 other community volunteers to determine the most effective investment of United Way funds in high-performing, local programs addressing critical needs in our community.  Volunteers will be garnered from all facets of the community: government, finance, faith based, academia, social service, medical… anyone who wishes to make a difference in this community is welcome!
