Welcome United Way Volunteer!

Welcome to United Way's Volunteer Resource Center (VRC), your best source for volunteering needs in Central Florida! The VRC is a free volunteer website that is used by over 200 local nonprofits in need of volunteers. This website enables you to learn about local nonprofit organizations who need your help and to find one-day, ongoing or special event opportunities. You can even search by zip code, interests and agency name or check out the calendar of volunteer events to find a perfect fit for your passions .

PARTICIPATE IN A LIVE UNITED VOLUNTEER EVENT!
In addition to the great opportunities found here, the Volunteer Resource Center plans several community-wide volunteer events throughout the year that make large-scale differences in our community focused on improving either income, education, health, or basic needs.

Heart of Florida United Way’s Volunteer Resource Center strives to provide volunteers with meaningful and impactful opportunities throughout Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties. This year, to celebrate our partner agencies and to promote supporting our local community, the inaugural Week of Action project will occur from January 19-25.

Projects will range from sorting food items at Second Harvest Food Bank, to providing mentorship moments with students at local Boys and Girls Clubs, and beautifying the campuses for Aspire Health Partners. These projects will highlight the diverse partnerships held within the Heart of Florida Unite Way family, and allow volunteers to see the many ways they can support our local ALICE families.

Whether you are serving as an individual volunteer, with your family, or even with a corporate group – YOU can join the fight and start your year with action!
