Are you willing to participate with Northern Santa Barbara County United Way by joining your local Advisory Council Team (ACT). Your team gives local representation focusing on the specific needs of your community. We look forward to working with you as we address community issues that impact all of us.

This is an exciting time to be a part of your local United Way.

Across the country the volunteer role within the organization’s Community Impact Model is being greatly expanded. The involvement is year round. Emphasis is placed on knowing the issues, being aware of other community resources, understanding the gaps in services, and developing strategies to address unmet needs.

You, and your team, will help to establish priorities for fundraising and strategies for investment. You will be part of the decision-making process for each of the above focus areas affecting investments in both direct services and community-change efforts. These are extremely pivotal decisions for the organization that will require your time and commitment. Be assured your United Way staff and Board of Directors will do their best to provide you with all the support, guidance, and assets you need to successfully represent your community. United Way cannot accomplish its goals without your participation.
