United Way of Palm Beach County Volunteer Center
5Overall Experience Wonderful learning opportunity
During the summer of 2003 I was a volunteer in United Way's Volunteer Center. I worked about 12-13 hours per week. I primarily worked with Lise Landry and Donna Pulda. They were both extremely friendly and helpful. The main project that I worked on was called "Operation Step Up." It was interesting to see it develop throughout the summer. When I started it was not really developed at all, now it is well on its way. It made me glad to see what my work had accomplished. Besides being a great learning experience, interning at the United Way let me meet some very nice people. Everyone there always welcomed me with a smile, a hello, and a thankyou...something very rare now a days. Overall I would recommend interning or volunteering at the United Way to anybody looking to learn in a warm work environment. Thanks for the opportunity!! posted by daniellealbert on August 14, 2003

5Overall Experience The Volunteering at the United Way of Palm Beach County was a valuble experience.
Volunteering at the United Way of Palm Beach County was truly a rewarding experience. I became part of an amazing staff of people that are making a difference in Palm Beach County everyday. The work that I did encompassed many sectors of volunteerism including children and families, enriching the lives of senior citizens, helping people with disabilities as well as food, shelter and emergency needs. I also created an easy to use website manual geared to help agencies gain volunteers post volunteer opportunities through the United Way of Palm Beach County's website. I felt that my work really made a difference in the lives of others. I highly recommend volunteering at the United Way of Palm Beach County. posted by Monique246 on June 27, 2003

5Overall Experience It has been very rewarding.
I volunteer two days a week at the United Way Volunteer Center and assist with clerical duties. For the past 20 years, I worked for a large corporation whose main concern was increasing revenues. I have never been associated with a nonprofit agency, and it is refreshing to be around people who care about their community and want to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. I feel my involvement with United Way has given me a better understanding of the tremendous need for resources and volunteers, as well as an appreciation for United Way's tireless efforts in behalf of Palm Beach County. posted by Kathy Stephens on February 27, 2003

5Overall Experience I felt very welcomed and wanted by the people at United Way.
The United Way of Palm Beach is an agency that gives money to non profit agencies and is the source where volunteer opportunities are found. I worked at the United for the summer and I found my experience to be very rewarding. I was able to help with the initial setup of a new website geared towards helping agencies post volunteer opportunities and helping volunteers find the perfect opportunity for them. The environment I worked in was very warm, supportive, and informative. I learned something new each day I came to The United Way. I especially enjoyed being a part of something that is going to make a difference in people's lives. The three people I worked most closely with were Donna Pulda, Lise Landry, and Daryl Houston. They made me feel like I was part of the team ever since the first day I walked through the door. I will always remember and cherish the great volunteer opportunity I experienced this summer. posted on August 16, 2002
