YOUTH VOLUNTEERING

Volunteering isn’t just about giving back—it’s about stepping up. It’s a chance to discover what you’re passionate about, grow your leadership skills, and connect with others who care about making a difference. At United Way Suncoast, we believe you’re never too young to inspire change, lead with purpose, and create meaningful impact right here in the Suncoast region.

Whether you're looking to volunteer as a family, complete service hours for school, or just want to make your community a better place, we’ve got opportunities that are fun, flexible, and full of purpose.
 

GETTING STARTED

Create An Account

• Ages 13 and up - if you're 13 or older, you can create your own volunteer account on our portal with parent or guardian consent.  This gives you the freedom to:
  • Sign up for volunteer projects that are open to youth ages 13+ (parent or guardian may need to be present for certain opportunities)
  • Track your volunteer hours
  • Explore opportunities that match your interests, schedules and goals


• Ages 8 - 12 - if you're younger than 13, you can still make a big impact!  You'll just need to volunteer through a parent or guardian's accounts.  It's a great way to get involved early and make a difference together.
  • Sign up for volunteer projects that are open to children ages 8+
  • When registering, add the youth as a guest and be sure to include their name and age
