We're excited to introduce VolunteerNorthIdaho.org, a new platform powered by the United Way of North Idaho to better connect volunteers, nonprofits, and the community. Whether you're an individual looking to give back, a business interested in a team-building project, or a nonprofit agency seeking support, this is your one-stop hub for making a meaningful local impact.
Our goal is to make volunteering easier and more effective—for everyone. Volunteers can browse and sign up for one-time or ongoing opportunities. Agencies can post their needs, connect with passionate community members, and build lasting relationships.
We invite you to explore and start making connections today at www.volunteernorthidaho.org.
Questions? Contact us at 208-667-8112 or info@uwnorthidaho.org.

Community Impact (CI) Councils
The UWNI manages an annual funding process called Community Care Funds. This important annual funding mechanism is only possible because of the dedicated volunteers who help us understand our area's most pressing needs. Each focus area (education, financial stability, health) is run by a team of trained volunteers called Community Impact Councils. Each council determines funding goals by area, reviews the applications, and vets the agencies. We are very interested in adding to each council. See add'l details, commitment, and annual timeline: UWNI Community Impact volunteering (PDF)
Send CI volunteering questions to Rebecca@uwnorthidaho.org
