  • We know you've done a lot of peopling lately. But when you're ready to socialize again, we have a list of Volunteer Opportunities at local nonprofits that could really use your help. Volunteer on your own (great for introverts) or with a group (for those extroverts out there).

    Check it out: www.uwcr.org/volunteer/individual-volunteering/

  • Thank you to the @highmarkblueshield volunteers that recently spent an afternoon wrapping children's books. The books were part of a Holiday Busy Bag given to children in our school readiness program so they can continue to learn over the holiday break. 🎄⛄️ #liveunited #earlyed #happyholidays #volunteering

  • Thank you to the volunteers from @highmarkblueshield who helped deliver hundreds of our fundraiser poinsettias last week! Through the sale we raised $3,000+ that will go directly to United Way programs and services. #liveunited #happyholidays #community #volunteering

  • When Renuka learned about one of our school readiness workshops in her neighborhood, she knew this was a great opportunity for her daughter, Paridhi.

    While Renuka and her husband work, Paridhi spends her days with her grandparents who only speak Nepali.

    As a child, learning English is essential for Paridhi to be prepared for kindergarten.

    In 2023, Renuka and Paridhi started attending United Way of the Capital Region’s Ready for School, Ready to Succeed workshops which help prepare children academically and socially for kindergarten.

    Within a few short months, Paridhi was learning the English alphabet and socializing with her new friends .

    Paridhi is now four years old and looks forward to starting kindergarten next year.

    “Thank you so much to United Way of the Capital Region for funding the program,” Renuka adds. “The program is working because of you.”
