Take Action

Making a difference is about acting on your great ideas. If you can dream it, you can do it. United Way can support your efforts in a variety of ways – get innovative and turn your vision for the community into reality!

Shaw United Way Youth Connections

If you have a great idea that will make a difference in your community, Youth Connections is a great place to go for financial and other support. It’s a unique funding program for youth-driven projects that are based in Winnipeg and have a clear local benefit.

Youth Day of Caring
Every year, youth from all over the city join together to get their hands dirty and complete community action projects that have an impact on dozens of nonprofit agencies. It’ll have an impact on you, too.

Student Fundraising
Every year, students in Winnipeg schools raise money to support United Way Winnipeg’s work in the community. If you’ve got a fundraising idea (and permission from your Principal to make it happen) our Student Campaign Guide will provide you with a plan and the tools you need to ensure success.
