Giving of your time can be a rewarding experience. United Way and each of its member agencies, in addition to other community agencies, depend on volunteers to help carry out important programs and services.

• Allocations/Fund Distribution - During the United Way allocations process, volunteers from throughout the community come together to review agency funding requests, budgets, program information and community needs. This process offers donors a chance to be heard and make educated decisions about how they want their United Way dollars to be spent.
• Board of Directors - United Way of Iredell County is governed by a local board of directors made up of concerned community volunteers. United Way strives to maintain a board of directors representing a cross-section of the community, to make decisions about United Way policies that will most benefit our community as a whole.
• Campaign - Each year more than 100 volunteers from throughout our community make calls on companies, businesses, local organizations and individuals to distribute materials and pledge information. Campaign volunteers are dedicated to helping United Way spread its message and raise funds in the community.
• Office - With only four paid staff members, the United Way office can always use a helping hand making calls, preparing mailings and handling other day-to-day office needs.
• Internships - Communications/Marketing internships are available throughout the year for high school and college students, as well as others interested in obtaining hands-on experience in the communications field. Projects include writing for local newspapers, project coordination and desktop publishing projects.
