Global Volunteer Month 

Global Volunteer Month Celebrates the Power of People 

Forty-four percent of people are unsure how to get involved or where to find opportunities to volunteer. That's why Global Volunteer Month is so important to United Way of Yellowstone County.

It's a time to uplift those who are working to better their communities and equip nonprofits that are doing the same. Individuals rely on nonprofit organizations to provide them with clear guidance and direction on how they can lend their time, talent and resources to a cause. Nonprofits simply can't function without passionate, committed individuals to help do the work. 

Civic Engagement Thrives When We Work Together  

Throughout April, Global Volunteer Month celebrates the power of people who tackle society's greatest challenges, and build stronger, more vibrant communities through volunteerism and everyday actions. There are many ways you can get involved and join the celebration: recognize volunteers, find volunteer opportunities, and so much more. You can even find daily stories of inspiration featuring volunteers who are making real, sustained change and inspiring others to act. 

Find Ways to Volunteer That Mean the Most to You 

Supporting a cause you care about by volunteering can have a big impact. There are many ways to lend your time and talents, but it's also important to make sure you're acting in thoughtful and effective ways. Finding the right volunteer opportunity can be as critical as how you choose to give back.
