Project Blueprint

Project Blueprint is a unique volunteer development leadership program of the United Way Volunteer Center. It is designed to recruit, train and place African-American, Latino, and Asian volunteers in positions of leadership in nonprofit agencies and community organizations.

Since United Way of Lancaster County began the program in 1993, more than 140 culturally diverse graduates have been recruited, trained, and assisted in finding an appropriate nonprofit committee on which to serve.  The program has successfully communicated the importance of volunteer diversity in nonprofits to area corporations, local nonprofit agencies, community leaders, residents, and media.

There is no cost to participants in Project Blueprint, who give their time and commitment to the program, with a tremendous return to the community.

Through their involvement, participants enhance health and human service agencies' knowledge of, sensitivity to, and support for the needs of our diverse populations in Lancaster County. This outreach effort to all sectors of the community results in a better quality of life for all.
