Volunteers are always seeking meaningful opportunities to share their time and unique talents. Skills-based volunteering enables nonprofits to leverage specific skillsets to support their work, and it engages individual volunteers in the opportunity to create lasting community-wide change.
The Heart of Illinois United Way's Skills Link network is dedicated to linking talented volunteers with nonprofits to impact our community.
