We are currently seeking volunteer board members to help us in our annual campaign to raise funds in support of local non-profits in our area.
Our board meets monthly, either in person or via Zoom. Board members are also called upon to help out with a few special events and programs throughout the year, as they can. In the past this has included fundraising barbecues, Skate with Santa events, taking a shift manning donation tables at the local senior centres or grocery stores, helping out with the Koats for Kids program, and attending our fall campaign kick-off and spring campaign wrap events.
Whether you’re someone who loves to roll up their sleeves and help out behind-the-scenes or a person who thrives on reaching out and connecting with people in our community, we have a role for you on our board!
We’re hoping to people our board with a diverse group of enthusiastic volunteers, hailing from across the region we serve. Fundraising expertise, policy development skills, business connections, and public relations experience would all be pluses for a potential new board member, but an eagerness to be actively involved and a commitment to helping us grow our agency over the next few years are really the most important things we’re looking for.
If you’d like to learn more, email us at unitedwaypembinavalley@gmail.com.
