Volunteer with United Way
“The heart of a volunteer is never measured in size, but by the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others.” ~ DeAnn Hollis
At United Way Regina, we believe that through volunteerism we can create a meaningful and lasting change in our communities – and in people’s lives.

Saskatchewan is known for its wonderful volunteers. Every year, more than 330,000 volunteers step up to help Saskatchewan people. Superheroes don’t go it alone and neither can we. Volunteers unite as engaged individuals to mobilize change by helping create literacy kits, take part in one-on-one reading opportunities, assist with administrative tasks, or step up as a member of our Board of Directors. We even have virtual volunteer opportunities, making it even easier to give the gift of time!
We are always looking for new people to share their knowledge and skills.
