Volunteering
United Way Winnipeg is volunteer-led
We mobilize thousands of volunteers a year through innovative volunteer opportunities, events and campaigns. We rely on the time & talents of volunteers for everything from fundraising to helping decide where to invest donations. We couldn’t do what we do without these kind of Winnipeg heroes. We believe that through volunteerism we can create meaning and lasting change in our community—and in people’s lives.
Hands-on opportunities we can help you organize at your workplace
Volunteer at a Day of Caring
A United Way Winnipeg Day of Caring is a unique opportunity for employees to come together and make a difference in our community by taking part in meaningful, hands-on volunteer projects with local community organizations.
It’s a rewarding way to spend a day. Build awareness, teamwork and morale—with a day that always stays in your heart!
Host a Pop Up Day of Caring
A United Way Winnipeg Pop Up Day of Caring is the group volunteer activity that comes to you!
You can help your workplace feel connected to our community by helping out without ever leaving the office.
Organize a Collection Drive
A connection to the community you & your co-workers will never forget! We’ll match your workplace with a United Way agency partner that needs items to better serve their clients, and your co-workers rally to bring in what they’d like to give. We can even arrange for you to deliver what you’ve collected to the agency, and see first-hand what a difference you’re making.
Personal growth opportunities you can add to your resume
Loan your staff (or join us yourself!) as a Sponsored Executive
Sponsored Executives are the extra people-power that make it possible to raise millions of dollars for our community. Loaning a Sponsored Executive for 14 weeks in the fall is a wonderful way to give back to our community, while developing your staff’s leadership potential.
