Join Our Annual Citizens' Review Process

 

Now that the United Way of Monroe County's 2012 campaign is over, it's time to allocate this year's funds.

 

The United Way's annual "Citizens' Review" process will kick off with a breakfast for volunteers on Wednesday, February 27, from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania's Center for Innovation. Never volunteered on a review panel? Not to worry, we will hold an orientation during our kick off breakfast.

 

Citizens' Review is a unique feature of the United Way's grants review and award process. Volunteers come from all over our area and have diverse backgrounds, but share a common goal of improving the lives of Monroe County residents. Volunteers will serve on one of four panels that recommend where the United Way of Monroe County will award grants. These panels include: Helping Children Succeed, Meeting Basic Needs, Promoting Self-Sufficiency and Engaging Youth.

 

Volunteers will carefully review all aspects of the non-profit programs seeking funding and will make recommendations about grant requests. The process includes site visits to agencies and a review of outcomes/results in improving people's lives. The total time commitment can range from 15 to 25 hours, with each panel setting up its own meeting schedule. Volunteers will need to have an e-mail account and access to the Internet. Panel meetings and site visits will run from early March through mid-April.

 

Join us today, visit www.unitedwaymonroe.org or call the United Way of Monroe County at 570-629-5657 and ask for Monica Cravotta, campaign and fund distribution director or e-mail [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.
