Open Call for Volunteer Projects
You bring the project. We bring the volunteers.
Does your organization need help to start or finish a project?
Large or small, inside or out, technical or basic, we are looking for them all!
If your organization is interested in being a project site, please complete the form below by Friday, August 23, 2024.
If you have any questions, please contact Heart of Indiana United Way at 765-608-3067.
Tips for a Successful DAY of CARING project:
- Assume that volunteers will need instruction on the project when they arrive at the work site.
- Allow time for a quick overview of your work and mission, and a tour of the facility and work site.
- Volunteers may be asked to bring things such as shovels, gloves, etc. but make sure to have all other needed materials ready to complete your project.
- Make sure to provide water for volunteers at each work site.
- Develop a backup list of activities in case the group finishes your projects early or bad weather disrupts your outdoor project.
- Organizations must provide liability coverage for volunteers assigned to their project.
