At United Way, we believe every person in every neighborhood should have equal access to quality healthcare, education, employment opportunities and a safety net of basic needs. We’re committed to seeing every neighborhood become a place where individuals and families can thrive. But we need your help to meet this goal. United, we can create stronger neighborhoods for a stronger Chicago region.
Making a long term impact is difficult to do alone. That’s why we believe driving change is more effective, and more fun, when we do it together. Join an affinity group or a giving society to increase your impact and grow your leadership alongside others who share your passion for our community. Through volunteering, fundraising and networking, these diverse groups are fighting for a stronger Chicago.
