Celebrating People in Action:

Thanking Our Volunteers

United Way of Broward County is honoring those individuals in our community who are taking action to create positive social change. These inspiring volunteers are always seeking to make Broward County a better place and deserve a special "thank you" for all of their hard work.

Please join us in honoring our local volunteers and consider being a part of the movement. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future. Volunteer today! 

Since its inception in 1993, United Way

of Broward County's annual Day of Caring has

had nearly 20,000 volunteers working to make

our community even better.

United Way of Broward County is fortunate to have dozens of volunteers who dedicate many hours of their time each month by serving on various committees. These groups are designed to bring together community members to work towards the organization's goals.

Some committees help identify the greatest needs in Broward County and find comprehensive, long-term solutions, while others help raise the crucial funds the United Way needs to make a positive impact on the community.

A special thank you to our amazing volunteers for all the work they do to make Broward County a better place to live. Click on committees below to view the names of these devoted volunteers.
