What We Do
United Way’s Board Connection brings together professionals seeking meaningful community leadership opportunities with local nonprofits looking to strengthen their volunteer boards.
Strong and passionate candidates fill out their experience and interests.
Nonprofits post opportunities, defining the role, board expectations, time commitment and more.
Boards calculates a “relevancy” score to show candidates their best fits, connecting them with open positions.
