The Monadnock United Way is a volunteer organization. The hundreds of volunteers who devote their time, energy and expertise each year enable the Monadnock United Way to achieve results that make a real difference in our community. 

Volunteering has become an essential part of American life. It is a primary way to bring people together, to reconnect society and help solve social problems. Volunteering is beneficial because it helps build self-esteem, passes on social values and instills the responsibility of personal commitment by giving back to the community. Through volunteer service, people can strengthen and improve the quality of life within their own communities and their own lives. 

Anyone can volunteer. We all have skills and talents developed over many years of life experience that are needed in the community. Volunteer experience can also serve to teach new skills that can be used to enhance our personal lives. 

The Monadnock Volunteer Center, a Monadnock United Way agency, connects people with a variety of opportunities and assists in finding one best suited to their talents, interests and time.
