People Making an Impact

United Ministries believes that volunteers are our strength. Through volunteerism, we increase our capacity to provide services to those in need. We encourage innovation and commitment and consider our volunteers a vital part of our staff and team.

There are many ways to lend a hand, and we’d like to match your passion and energy with the needs of United Ministries and its participants.  Explore the volunteer opportunities below, and envision the changes you can personally bring to your community.  We welcome volunteers of all ages and have many opportunities available for those who wish to serve others with limited resources.
