Volunteering with UNITE!
If you have a local chapter near you, join it! You can get volunteer hours, run drives, and contribute to our mission. You may also get leadership positions within those chapters.
If you don't have a chapter nearby, you can start a chapter or run a donation drive (both below). Otherwise, contact us and we can discuss virtual internships!
Start Your Own Chapter
Starting a chapter simply entails running at least one donation drive a year, taking photos during this drive, having a school club under our name, and joining at least one Zoom meeting with our founder. We also recommend having a Vice President who is a year younger to ensure the chapter continues. Become a chapter president today; please reach out for more details or questions!
Benefits to starting a chapter:
​
1
We will do work for you! Whether it's donation distribution to shelters, keeping data, or even making flyers, our national team has you covered!
2
Leadership + Service Hours
As President, you will learn leadership skills that future college and career opportunities will recognize.
3
No need to navigate legal processes! Running a charity as a young person is complicated, with legal forms and tax returns. We will do that work for you!
4
Mentorship (it's fun!)
You will get to work with like-minded students from across the country and be a part of a greater mission.
Run a Donation Drive
Don't want to volunteer and don't want to start your own? This is the perfect alternative. Press the button below for a flyer template to have a donation drive in your neighborhood or community. Make a copy and insert the location where people can drop off donations. Contact us throughout the process. We will work with you to get donations to a chapter near you.
Our Team: National Leadership
These members are part of our current national team, including chapter presidents. We appreciate the many managers who have made UNITE! a reality as well. Start your own chapter to join our national team and make a difference!
