Would you like to connect with our communities, learn more about the important work of United Way’s funded agencies and make HRM a better community? Each fundraising year, Panel Volunteers review agency funding applications to make funding recommendations to United Way’s Board of Directors. Panel Volunteers play an important role in ensuring donor dollars are spent in accordance with United Way funding criteria and are making a measurable difference in our community.

Needless to say, the commitment is demanding–but very rewarding. You’ll work with other volunteers who have varied backgrounds, employment experience and community activity. You will visit several community based agencies to discuss the impact they are making. After an evening of training in September, panels meet weekly until February. To learn more about this rewarding and engaging community opportunity contact Sue Barr.
