Our Summer of Service program runs through July and August and is specifically designed for youth ages 13 to 18.

The program provides opportunities for participants to gain volunteer hours towards a high school credit. Volunteers will aid United Way staff with projects within various organizations throughout Brandon. 

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS

We communicate with various organizations who are able to provide opportunities for volunteer work on summer projects. A schedule is then created with both morning and afternoon shifts consisting of 2-3 hours each. 

Once assigned to an organization,  participants are guided by an United Way staff member throughout their shift. Volunteer hours are tracked and submitted for class credit.

Participants can attend as many volunteer opportunities as they like. As the summer progresses, more volunteer opportunities can become available. We design the schedule to be flexible for students to choose as many or as little volunteer slots. 

Specific times and dates will be chosen once students have completed and submitted their registration form.
