Volunteer

Be Part of Something Bigger

United Way Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo values the support of dedicated volunteers who contribute to specific programs and initiatives throughout the year. While we are not entirely volunteer‑run, volunteer involvement remains an important part of our work—and your time and skills can make a meaningful difference when opportunities arise.

Day of Caring

Day of Caring volunteer opportunities are a great way for you and your coworkers to come together, develop team-building skills, and make
a difference in our community. These opportunities allow meaningful participation in one-day projects that directly help 
clients of United
Way-funded partner agencies. 

Community investment Committee

Looking for a great way to learn more about yourself while you learn
more about important issues in our community? Consider joining the Community Investment Committee with United Way of Fort McMurray
and Wood Buffalo.

The main reason individuals volunteer is the desire to support their community.

About one-half of Canadians contribute their time, energy and skills to groups and organizations such as charities and nonprofits.
