What can I say about this important Winnipeg Institution? I am a volunteer at United Way Winnipeg. The location at Higgins and Main might turn some people off, but it is safe at all times. They built there because of proximity to so many non-profit social-service agencies in the area. The United Way uses a Stewardship Model which is not used by all United Way agencies across Canada. As an Agency Liaison Volunteer, I join other volunteers and a Community Investment Manager (staff) to visit funded agencies for contract renewal or annual update meetings. We ask the questions, listen to the answers, and make recommendations to the Community Investment Council which approves funding contracts. There are also volunteers who help with the Annual Campaign and others who help at Special Events. The facility is bright and clean and welcoming. Many community groups attend professional development organized by United Way or use the large meeting room for an Agency event.
