The United Way Volunteer Center is recruiting skilled, interested and available volunteers for the Board Bank program. Currently, there are over 60 non-profits in Larimer County that need the leadership, passion and enthusiasm that so many community professionals have to offer. The Volunteer Center recruits and trains community professionals to become valuable board members, and assists in matching volunteers with the needs of local non-profit organizations. With so many non-profits looking for board members, volunteers can strengthen ties to their community by taking an active role.

The next Board Bank training will be Tuesday, December 7th from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Good Samaritan Village in Fort Collins, located at 508 West Trilby Road. The cost of the training is $20 and includes an overview of the expectations and general policies of serving on a Board of Directors, allows the volunteer to learn more about possible nonprofits to be paired with, and provides the volunteer with a book on the basic responsibilities of a board member. Interested volunteers should register for the training by completing the Board Bank candidate application, which is available by contacting Erin Zimmermann, Volunteer Center Specialist, at 970-407-7064 or ezimmermann@uwaylc.org, or online at www.uwaylc.org.
