As part of United Way's Fun in the Sun program, we offer an hour-long volunteer opportunity for community members called "Lunch Bunch." Lunch Bunch gives volunteers an opportunity to play games and interact with students in the program, fostering positive adult engagement for the kids and giving volunteers the opportunity to mentor students and share about their lives and career. Lunch Bunch has always been a valued part of the Fun in the Sun experience for our students. It exposes them to a large variety of jobs fields and roles they may not otherwise learn about and inspires them to keep working their hardest to explore and learn in school.

- Due to distance and the more spread-out topography, recruiting volunteers in the northern parts of Santa Barbara County is traditionally a little trickier than those sites that are closest to our home office area. It is important that we can provide the same Fun in the Sun experience to each of our sites across the county so we hope that you can help us by volunteering and sharing this opportunity with colleagues, friends, and other organizations in North County to ensure that our students can engage in this impactful mentorship opportunity.
Volunteering with your department is even more important this year because now so many of our students are still dealing with the repercussions of COVID-19 and the learning setbacks. All children are in need of positive adult interaction, and your participation at Lunch Bunch is the most accessible and exciting opportunity for them to have that interaction.

Mission Statement
Right here, right now, with the Power of Partnership ™ , we are improving lives for children, families, seniors and you! United Way of Santa Barbara County (UWSBC) has the unique and positive vision that "in our community, everyone has a hopeful future." UWSBC has served the local community since its local founding in 1923 and, through our Power of Partnership™ , we improve the lives of children, families and seniors by connecting and empowering resources. UWSBC is not merely a fundraising agent, but rather acts as a unifying and multiplying force.
Description
Through funding, volunteer development, and leveraging dozens of local non-profit and public sector agencies, and directing our own unique multi-agency initiatives such as Fun in the Sun (a summer academic and behavior enrichment program for poverty-level and homeless children and their families), UWSBC seeks to create lasting, meaningful solutions rather than short-lived approaches to community problems.
Through strategic planning and community involvement, UWSBC's core values have been specifically articulated. These core values are the center of our organization as we seek to serve this community to the best of our ability.
UWSBC is focused on developing four key areas: successful children and teens, strong families, vital and independent seniors, and a better community. Multiplying impact; appreciating and growing the commitment of volunteers, providers and donors; accomplishing measurable long term results with and through partners is our message and value. United with community leaders, educators, government, volunteers, non-profits and businesses, we can Live United
