Valparaiso, IN – November 12, 2025 – United Way Northwest Indiana is proud to announce the relaunch of its Volunteer Resource Center — a centralized digital hub that makes it easier than ever for community members, corporate partners, and local nonprofits to connect through service.

This new platform allows volunteers to browse and register for opportunities, track service hours, and engage with causes across the Region — all from one convenient location.

“Our community is filled with people who want to make a difference but often don’t know where to start,” said Evelyn Harris, Director of Volunteer Services at United Way Northwest Indiana. “The Resource Center breaks down barriers to engagement by giving volunteers and nonprofits a streamlined, accessible way to come together. Whether you have one hour or one day to give, there’s a place for you to make an impact.”

Features of the Volunteer Resource Center

• Browse volunteer opportunities across Northwest Indiana
• Sign up for events and recurring service projects
• Corporate and group volunteer coordination tools
• Nonprofit partner access to post needs and recruit volunteers

The Volunteer Resource Center supports United Way NWI’s mission to strengthen the Region through community collaboration and hands-on service — ensuring individuals, families, and organizations have the resources and connections needed to contribute to a stronger, more resilient Northwest Indiana.

“This is a milestone for volunteerism in our Region,” added Harris. “We're excited to welcome every person and organization ready to roll up their sleeves and help build a better tomorrow.”
