When you become a volunteer, you create meaningful and lasting local change.
Whether you’re interested in gaining employment skills, sharing your area of expertise or just want to spend more time supporting your community, we can find the perfect way for you to get involved.
Ways to volunteer
Professional committees
Along with our Board of Directors, we rely on the expertise of corporate executives, government officials, and community stakeholders to advise and guide our work. We have volunteer committees in the areas of governance, marketing and communications, community impact, resource development, finance, and other corporate services.

Hygiene kits for youth facing homelessness
Hygiene products can be expensive—especially for youth facing financial insecurity. But basic necessities like a bar of soap are crucial to staying safe and healthy during the pandemic.
Help us reach our goal of providing hygiene kits for those in need across Prescott-Russell, Ottawa, Lanark County, and Renfrew County. You can contribute individually or participate as a group by registering online.
Mentorship
United Way East Ontario is working to engage new mentors and career coaches to help vulnerable youth, newcomers, youth with disabilities and more.
Campaign Leads
Every year thousands of workplaces across our region partner with us. These campaigns rely on employees who generously offer their time and talent to make them a success.
