Volunteer Opportunities
United Way Central Alberta is a volunteer driven organization. From our Board of Directors who sets the direction for the organization to our operational committees who work to engage donors, allocate funds and increase awareness around social issues, we could not do what we do without our volunteers.
No matter how much time you are able to give, we have opportunities for all to get involved.

Priority Impact Team (PIT) members are directly involved with the agencies that United Way of Central Alberta (UWCA) funds. There are three PIT crews one for each of UWCA Focus areas – Education, Income and Wellness. PIT crews review applications to ensure that the requests align with the UWCA community investment framework. As a PIT member, you will visit agencies, review their applications and recommend funding allocations to the Community Impact Council.
Want to get involved but not sure you have the time to join a committee? We are always looking for event volunteers or help with either one time or short projects. Reach out to find out more.
