UNITED WAY SUNCOAST

ONGOING VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

United Way Suncoast severs the constraints that prevent families from thriving. We dismantle the barriers to human prosperity, uniting our community along the way. When we provide pathways to early learning, financial stability and youth success, we lift up families as they cultivate a future beyond the circumstantial constraints put on them. We provide choices. We provide opportunities. We create space to grow for Asset-Limit, Income-Constrained, Employed (ALICE) families. These hard-working parents and children stand just one unexpected expense from dire circumstances. ALICE families compose more than 43 percent of all households in our region, and we’re working to create equity for them and all the community members in our five-county footprint: DeSoto, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pinellas and Sarasota counties. We’re operating and funding services and programs to help them create the life they envision for themselves and fuel their Freedom To Rise.

Please explore below to learn more about how you can volunteer for our United Way Suncoast programs.

 

FINANCIAL COACHING

  • Community Members who are in a position to make changes and improve their financial wellness are paired with dedicated volunteer coaches. Together, they develop a plan of action that will help the member achieve their financial goals.

QUALITY CHILDCARE INITIATIVE

  • Our Quality Childcare Initiative and sister program, United4Literacy, support the key quality components of childcare at selected early childcare centers in our 5-county footprint. High-quality preschool gives children a strong start on the path that leads to college or a career. Children need a physical setting—both inside and outdoors—where they can play, explore, and learn safely.

VOLUNTEER INCOME TAX ASSISTANCE (VITA)

  • VITA facilitates the connection between low-to-moderate income residents in the Suncoast Region and skilled volunteer tax preparers who offer free tax filing services. This presents an excellent opportunity for you, your friends, family, or co-workers to contribute to Suncoast households by providing quality tax preparation services.
