GCUW VIRTUAL VOLUNTEER CENTER

United Way is dedicated to serving our community by supporting local non-profit organizations and connecting with the citizens of Greene County.  As a way to work with both groups, GCUW has created our Virtual Volunteer Center - a place where agencies can post volunteer opportunities and volunteers can find a tasks that fits their passion and skills.  Thank you to the EQT Foundation for their generous grant that made this idea become a reality!
