Empowering High School Students to Lead and Serve
What is Student United Way?
Student United Way is a leadership and service program for high school students who want to make a difference in their community.
Led by students, for students, Student United Way provides opportunities to develop leadership skills, organize service projects, and build a lifelong commitment to volunteerism. Whether you’re passionate about community service or looking for ways to get involved, we’re here to help you take action.
Who Can Join?
Any student age 13 and above can participate in Student United Way. You don’t need to be part of a service club or organization—just a desire to give back to your community!

Student United Way collaborates with other student-led organizations to create a bigger impact.
