Campaign Representative Program
The Campaign Representative Program is an intensive deep-dive into the world of Non-Profit and Philanthropy. Participants will grow and be challenged as they learn what it takes to make change in the community.
United Way’s Campaign Representatives join United Way from outside organizations for 16 weeks; helping with our workplace fundraising, and ultimately helping to change lives in our community.
United Way’s Campaign Representative (Campaign Rep) program offers a unique professional, personal and community development experience for an exceptional employee in your workplace.
Campaign Reps are sponsored by their employer to work at United Way for a 16-week period. These individuals play an integral role in ensuring United Way workplace fundraising campaigns result in the greatest impact for our community. United Way’s workplace fundraising campaigns are a major source of revenue and are a critical component in our ability to address the root causes of the complex issues that face our community.
