United Way 211 receives nearly 100 calls a day for food, shelter, rent and utilities assistance, aging and disability resources and more. No matter the situation, volunteers at 211 listen, empathize and connect people with resources and services in our community to help.

In order to be best equipped to help callers, all of our volunteers are required to go through a multi-step training process before they can become Community Information and Referral Specialists.

This position will allow you to improve your customer service skills, learn about resources and needs in the community, and make a direct impact on people’s lives.

Volunteers serve one 4-hour shift per week, weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., and are asked to commit to a minimum of one year of service.

For more information, email us at volunteer211@uwdc.org, call 211 weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. or visit our website at www.unitedwaydanecounty.org/get-help/2-1-1
