Student United Way Application 2017-2019

Student United Way is an interactive community engagement program that gives high school students the tools to become strong community leaders and citizens. It works with students their freshmen and sophomore years. Students examine needs in the community and explore solutions with United Way and our nonprofit, corporate, and government partners. The program highlights include visits with top United Way campaigns (http://www.uwrv.org/news/united-way-announces-50-most-generous-workplaces-roanoke-valley) and their executive leadership, as well as volunteer opportunities with the area’s strongest nonprofits (http://www.uwrv.org/partnerships).

Interested applicants should have a strong interest in community service and the Roanoke Valley.
