Are you looking for meaningful ways to give back? Here at United Way of North Central Iowa, we pride ourselves in offering a wide variety of volunteer opportunities that support local organizations who serve our community.
Volunteering with United Way of North Central Iowa brings businesses, individuals, families, and a network of partner agencies together to create community change. We have a range of opportunities where you, your family, your colleagues, or your business can make a real difference in North Iowa
UWNCI is proud to partner with local businesses to advance their philanthropic giving in the community. From workplace campaigns to volunteerism, UWNCI aligns with corporate partners and leverages the time, talent, and treasure of their workforce to transform lives in our community. The pandemic caused many businesses to move their work virtually, significantly impacting workforce culture. As a way to help corporate partners engage their employees from afar and help nonprofits who were on the front lines, United Way of North Central shifted its volunteer initiatives to help positively impact workforce culture while helping those in need.
Benefits of Volunteering
