Volunteer/Internship Program

Volunteers are tremendous resource for any organization, but for nonprofits, they are the epicenter. Working without compensation to benefit those most in need is a selfless act that we at the Corona Norco United Way take very seriously. It is our goal to offer volunteer opportunities for all, including individuals, groups, one-time, short-term, long-term, on-going, and everything in between.

In addition to simply helping your community and beefing up your resume, there are many other benefits to volunteering:

  • Volunteering connects you to others: It's a 2-way street. It can benefit you and your family as much as the cause you choose to help. Dedicating your time as a volunteer helps you make new friends, expand your network, and boost your social skills.​

  • Volunteering helps you make new friends and contacts: One of the best ways to make new friends and strengthen existing relationships is to commit to a shared activity together. Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, especially if you are new to an area. Volunteering also strengthens your ties to the community and broadens your support network, exposing you to people with common interests, neighborhood resources, and fun and fulfilling activities.

  • Volunteering increases your social and relationship skills: While some people are naturally outgoing, others are shy and have a hard time meeting new people. Volunteering gives you the opportunity to practice and develop your social skills, since you are meeting regularly with a group of people with common interests. Once you have momentum, it’s easier to branch out and make more friends and contacts.
