Whether you represent a company looking for unique and rewarding team-building activities and you want a great fit for your social responsibility platform or you’re an individual desiring to make a difference, United Way has something special in store.
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.
The United Way Central Alberta Board of Directors is a group of dedicated, community minded individuals. They use their skills and experience to govern and set direction for United Way Central Alberta.
Board Members serve terms of 2 years and are provided with training about the United Way Network and United Way Central Alberta.
The Community Impact Council is a group of volunteers with a passion for addressing the issues our community faces.
CIC members work with our Community Impact Development Officer to set our Impact Strategy, engage with agencies, review and ultimately approve funding decisions. They are a hard working and dedicated team that is passionate about their community.
Campaign Cabinet members are community leaders who assist us with engaging our donors ahead or our annual Campaign. Each cabinet member is assigned workplaces to engage to help ensure that our donors have a successful and fun campaign.
GenNext encourages people in their 20s and 30s to become involved with United Way, to more fully understand the issues that confront people in our region, to actively connect with the community and to influence positive change through meaningful volunteering and networking opportunities.
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.
