Agency Details:

The United Way Volunteer Connection is a program of the United Way of Marathon County whose purpose is to build community strength through volunteerism by focusing on three core strategies: (1) Effectively connecting volunteers with opportunity to serve. (2) Promoting and fostering volunteerism. (3) Participating in strategic initiatives that mobilize volunteers to meet local needs.

Description:
The United Way Volunteer Connection offers an enhanced online volunteer matching database that is direct, efficient, and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Organizations can use the Volunteer Connection Online to post volunteer needs and manage volunteers. Volunteers can search all posted opportunities in one central location based on keyword, volunteer type, interest, skill, or time requirements.

Also, volunteers can call 2-1-1 and an information specialist can assist them or they can be referred to the Program Director.

Additionally, the program offers an online donated goods bulletin board called GoodsMatch where organizations with donated goods needs are matched to individuals with available goods.
