The Volunteer Center of United Way Monterey County’s mission is to engage the community and focus resources to improve lives in Monterey County .  We carry out this mission by matching volunteers with meaningful opportunities to serve in our community. We partner with hundreds of community-based nonprofits throughout the county to link them with volunteers who have the skills and interests that match their organization’s needs.  Whether you want to become a volunteer or recruit volunteers for your organization, we can help.
