Back to School Bash Virtual Volunteer Opportunities

Monday, June 1st from 1:00am to Monday, July 20th, 2020 1:00pm

About

The average back to school supply list can cost over $100 which isn't feasible for many families in metro Denver. That's why Mile High United Way is teaming up with the Denver Broncos to make sure young people have the supplies they need to start the school year off strong. Join us! You can run a school supply drive with your friends/coworkers or volunteer your time to help make sure families have everything they need to get ready to go back to school. Virtual volunteer opportunities for the Back to School Bash will include sharing messages of encouragement for teachers, creating STEM Demos and other at-home learning resources, translation help and more! Upon registration for virtual opportunities, you will receive a confirmation email with additional project instructions. If you registered for a video call, you will be sent a calendar invite. Please check your spam mailbox for communications from Volunteer United.

All of the supplies are provided by generous individuals and companies in Metro Denver. Can't volunteer for the event? Be a part of this year's Back to School Bash by donating supplies! Limited on time? You can donate money here and then our team will purchase the supplies. Thank you for donating the supplies that go into each backpack so that students may go back to school ready to learn! For questions or concerns, please contact the Volunteer Engagement Team at volunteer@unitedwaydenver.org SHARE: Help us spread the word and get more volunteers! Don't forget to tag @unitedwaydenver and use the hashtag #LiveUnited on social media. If you would like to share your experience volunteering with us, please email cory.palencia@unitedwaydenver.org, and we will share our on channels.
