United Way of Long Island connects Long Islanders with volunteer opportunities across Nassau and Suffolk Counties — from food packing and distribution to event support, community outreach, tutoring, office assistance, and environmental planting projects. Whether you're an individual, family, or corporate team, there's a way to get involved that fits your schedule and skills.

Volunteer opportunities range from one-time events to ongoing commitments, and many are family-friendly or open to court-mandated volunteers. United Way works with a network of community partners across Long Island, meaning your volunteer time goes directly toward addressing the region's most pressing needs — food security, youth education, veteran support, and more.
