More information and a Volunteer Inquiry Form are available online at http://www.uwsc.org/committees.php. United Way staff members will review the volunteer inquiries and schedule interviews with eligible applicants.

In addition to funding 102 programs through 39 agencies with a special focus on local health and human services, United Way of Snohomish County supports a number of initiatives focusing on early learning and education, financial stability for families, a youth program, North Sound 211 and an emerging initiative in survival English.
