Student United Way and Campus Programs
United Way is working to advance the common good by focusing on education, income, and health. These are the building blocks for a good life; a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health. If we come together to lend a hand, together we can reach these goals.
To learn more, please explore the campus pages listed to the left. You can email us at campus@unitedway.org or contact your local United Way. If you are a United Way looking for more information, please click here.
A Recruitment Idea You Can Start Tomorrow
Hand out donuts on campus during the morning rush. With each donut, include a note that says ‘Donut it make you want to volunteer?’ and list your club’s meeting date, time, and place.
This idea comes from Kelsie Hanson and the Student United Way at Montana State University. Kelsie was the featured presenter at the last leaders call. Thank you Kelsie, you did a great job! To be a featured presenter on an upcoming call, email us at campus@unitedway.org.
