Looking for a way to get involved in your community?

United Way Ambassadors play a vital role in our mission to improve lives and strengthen Anderson County. Ambassadors receive valuable training about United Way’s impact in the community and engage in community and business networking opportunities. They are critical partners in helping United Way raise funds that make important differences for children, adults, and families experiencing food insecurity, homelessness, and domestic violence — while also supporting safe after-school programs, mentorships, senior services, and health initiatives.
