Volunteer

HOW CAN YOU VOLUNTEER?    

Volunteering benefits everyone – the volunteers, their employers, and the community. 

Research shows that individuals who volunteer in their community are happier and more satisfied with their lives, and companies and businesses that incorporate volunteerism in the workplace consistently report higher levels of employee satisfaction, morale, and team effectiveness. 

Tulsa Area United Way’s volunteers are the cornerstone of our operations, with community members executing crucial processes and assisting the community throughout the year.

We fund 59 partner nonprofits in the areas of education, health/safety, and financial stability. Agencies offer volunteer opportunities or service on boards and committees.

Days of Caring

• Days of Caring are a much-loved volunteering tradition that expresses the philanthropic spirit of our community. Groups of volunteers give their time throughout the year to a variety of service opportunities to help their neighbors and strengthen our nonprofit community.
