As a Day of Caring Volunteer Project Leader, you will…

• Select and register for a Day of Caring project
• Recruit all of the volunteers needed for your project
• Act as a liaison between your nonprofit partner and your volunteer group
• Rally your team and rock your project

Click here for instructions on how to manually add team members or invite them to sign up for your project.

All group members need to be registered online. If you enter your group’s members manually, a profile will be started for them and they will be notified via email. If you use the “join link” and invite your group members to sign up, they will have to create a profile or login to their profile in order to register. All that is required to create a profile is name and email.

It is important that you recruit all the volunteers required for your project. The best way to ensure this happens is to start your recruitment as early as possible so that you have enough time to fill the project. If you are having difficulty filling all the spots, contact us at dayofcaring@uwkc.org and we will try to find additional volunteers to fill your slots.

If you want to add volunteer slots, first check with the organization host to confirm that they can accommodate additional volunteers. If the organization can add extra spots, they will need to contact us at dayofcaring@uwkc.org so that we can add volunteer slots to the project. It is important to not show up on the day of the project with more volunteers than the organization is expecting. Sometimes organizations don’t have the capacity (supplies, space, staff, etc.) to handle additional volunteers.

It is extremely rare for projects to get cancelled, but if your project is cancelled, contact us at dayofcaring@uwkc.org so we can help you find a new project.

Anyone is welcome to participate! A majority of Day of Caring volunteers are part of corporate groups that support United Way of King County in some capacity, though volunteering is open to anyone.

It is up to the organization hosting the Day of Caring project whether they accept volunteers under 18. Before the event, please check with the organization’s contact person for their policy on youth volunteers.

You can volunteer as an individual or a team. If you are volunteering as an individual, you won’t have a team lead, so just make sure you have all the info you need from the organization hosting the project. Also, note that if you are volunteering as a part of a team you may be volunteering alongside other groups or individuals. If you want to ensure that you are volunteering as a part of a private project with just your group, please reach out to dayofcaring@uwkc.org.
