Volunteer
Each day thousands of people like you make their time and talents count by volunteering to help local nonprofit agencies with a wide range of tasks.
You could serve your community as a counselor, tutor, companion to the elderly, board or committee member. You could play games, pull weeds, or feed the hungry.
There are so many ways to get involved! United Way of Lancaster County’s Get Connected volunteer portal connects all kinds of volunteers – individuals and groups, young and old, corporations and families – to our community’s nonprofit agencies and education providers to help them achieve their missions, improve lives, and make our community a better place for all of us.
Thank you to our Volunteer Center sponsor, PNC Bank!
