2008 outh Summer Volunteer Guide
YE ARS
Foreword Our United Way brings people together to care for one another. We raise funds, mobilize volunteers, help to strengthen agencies, identify critical and unmet needs in the community, and help to build collaborations with the public and private sector to meet those needs. Through our annual campaign we raise funds to support a network of nearly 200 local health and human service organizations in our 16-county Missouri and Illinois region. These programs work to increase the safety, health and independence of the residents in our bi-state region.
The United Way Volunteer Center support’s the United Way’s mission by promoting and increasing volunteerism in the St. Louis region. The Center is the link between people who want to volunteer and the organizations that need volunteers. We work to achieve this by: connecting people with meaningful volunteer opportunities, educating the community about the value of volunteerism, and strengthening the volunteer sector through training, collection and dissemination of best practices, and certification of organizations that demonstrate having well-managed volunteer programs in place.

Get a group of friends together and sing songs or holiday carols at a nursing home. Offer to pick up a neighbor’s newspapers while they are out of town. Collect all the newspapers you have at home and take them to a recycling center. Rake leaves, shovel snow, or sweep the porch at home, or for a neighbor. Greet other kids at a school or church function. Plant flowers at your neighborhood park. Organize a group of friends together to help clean up around your school’s playground. Collect canned goods, or toys, or clothes that no longer fit you, and donate them to a food pantry, shelter, or other agency (you can call the United Way at 539-4284 for a listing of places you can deliver the things you collect and really brighten someone’s day!!) Walk your neighbor’s dog as a favor. Create some cards with your artwork on them for the holidays or other special occasions. Offer to help your teacher or librarian after school (you can create a bulletin board, clean the blackboards, put away books, there are lots of ways to help!) Bake some cookies for someone who would enjoy them! Make a coupon book “Helper for the day” “Expert dishwasher” “Free room cleaning,” etc.
