How It Works

  • Have their own student-run College United with leadership comprised of students from that particular institution 

  • Meet regularly with their College United group and United Way of Kenosha County to work on volunteer opportunities and other ideas to better the community 

  • Each College United leadership team of the four institutions will meet quarterly to brainstorm joint ideas to work together on and joint events that will better Kenosha County  

Benefits of Joining College United

Retire United members are retirees (or soon-to-be-retirees) who recognize the important role volunteerism and philanthropy play in strengthening our community. United Way invites you to expand your community involvement, participate in volunteer opportunities, join in social events, continue giving, and more during your retirement.
