Impact Speakers share stories of impact with United Way donors, and these stories are important to our work by bringing issue awareness, communicating United Way WRC’s purpose and value, and soliciting support. Donors have consistently shared that hearing an impact speaker gave them a deeper understanding of the issues, and compelled them to donate to United Way.
Sharing your story is a powerful way to make change in our community. We would love to hear from you if you would like to share a story of they way a United Way funded agency has made a difference in your life. By participating in this way, you can expect to meet new people, gain writing and speaking experience, and receive full support from United Way staff throughout the process. Connect with us today to talk more about this meaningful opportunity!
