More than 650 volunteers help the Greenwich United Way mobilize the community. Our volunteers are the driving force behind the success of achieving our mission. The list of volunteer opportunities is always evolving as we engage in new initiatives that address the changing needs of the community.
Greenwich Junior United Way
Greenwich Junior United Way is a student-led volunteer program that empowers young people to create meaningful change in their community. Open to students in grades 6 through 12, the program provides hands-on opportunities to lead service initiatives, collaborate across schools, and address real community needs.
Through regular meetings and guided mentorship, students gain valuable skills in leadership, project development, public speaking, fundraising, and more – all while fostering a deeper connection to their town and to each other.
More than just a volunteer group, Greenwich Junior United Way is building the next generation of community leaders committed to making a lasting impact in Greenwich.
