Greater Twin Cities United Way Review

I love working here it's a great feeling giving back to the community. I work threw a temp but looking for a permanent position. Iasha whitelow

What you are doing is noting, but helping and amplifying young generation life though education.

I love how inviting of me everyone was the day I spoke to them. The CEO of the organization that sponsors me took me along with a member of his staff, and we had a blast. Hope to meet some of them again some day.

They know about the violations and abuse at salvation army. Harbor lights and still offer only that place to the vulnerable. Very cruel

United Way has a negative stigma from being part of a larger national organization and having to cut funding from local orgs. I think it s hard for the public to see how integrated they are in our community and the intense work they do to make sure they re supporting as many local nonprofits as possible as they launch into innovative plans for the future. Most of the people there are kind and genuinely care about the folks they re serving. Despite being rooted in a hundred years of classist, racist, generally elitist philanthropy, they re actually trying to focus on equity and diversity (not just as buzzwords like most organizations) and uplift marginalized communities. Their 211 hotline is essential in providing accessible resources and their volunteer opportunities are so valuable for the privileged public. While there s much to be done in the white liberal nonprofit sector, GTCUW is definitely a thought-leader in those strides.
