Give an hour. Give a Saturday. Give your best. We all have special talents. Things we can do
to help. And when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all. At Metro
United Way we recruit the people and organizations from all across the community who bring
the passion, expertise and resources needed to get thing done. A community of connected
individuals, all people, united and working together for the benefit of all, is at the heart
of what we represent.
United Way Volunteer Connection makes volunteering fun, easy and accessible to individuals,
families, groups, and corporations. Discover how rewarding volunteering can be – whether
you’re 18 or 80, a high school student or a retiree, part of a community service group or a
corporate president.
Change won't happen without you!
Dreamer's
Academy
Did you know that research shows that kids actually lose learning over the summer break?
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in mathematical computation
skills over the summer months.
Metro United Way has partnered with Jefferson
County Public Schools, Boys and Girls
Club of Kentuckiana and Neighborhood
House to coordinate the Dreamer’s Academy program, an eight week pilot program designed
to prevent summer learning loss among youth at risk of academic failure. Join us by lending
your time and talent to volunteer to reader, tutor, or mentor this summer for this special
Summer Learning Loss Prevention program. Click
