Current Volunteer Need: Citizen Review Volunteers!
Deciding which programs to fund – and in what amount – are among the most critical decisions the RUW Board of Directors makes each year. Citizen Review volunteers are a vital part of this decision-making process.
Panel volunteers are assigned to a Citizen Review Panel. Each panel evaluates up to 3 agency funding applications, and develops funding recommendations for the Board of Directors to consider. The Board then uses Citizen Review Panels’ recommendations to decide next year’s monetary allocation to each United Way member agency.

Tax law training is provided free of charge. All volunteers must pass an "open book" test that certifies they are able to help prepare taxes.
