Volunteer Center
Volunteerism has long been the backbone of United Way of Greater St. Louis. Our Volunteer Center has been connecting people to meaningful volunteer opportunities in our region for 90 years.
The Volunteer Center offers thousands of opportunities for people to help our community through the issues they care about, including one-time, ongoing, individual, group, or virtual opportunities. New opportunities are frequently added to stlvolunteer.org based on community needs. Create an account to sign up for opportunities and follow your favorite agencies to stay updated on their latest opportunities.
“We really want to cultivate the next generation of philanthropists and volunteer leaders, and having United Way’s Volunteer Center as a tool can pave the way to help make that happen.”
– Rick Skinner, VP, Volunteer Center

Group Engagement Opportunities
A key facet of our Volunteer Center is our team engagement opportunities, two main offerings Service2Go program and coordinated projects.
Service2Go is a meaningful, team-building volunteer opportunity allowing companies and groups to give back by assembling kits that meet a critical need in our community. We handle logistics and administration, so the groups can spend time giving back to the community. Learn more.
Coordinated projects are perfect for small teams: the Volunteer Center will play matchmaker with one of our trusted nonprofit partners to find groups an impactful half or full day of service in the community.
