Student United Way at Indiana University Bloomington

Student United Way is a student-led community change organization. Student leaders improve peoples’ lives, develop leadership skills and join the growing United Way movement by giving, advocating, and volunteering on campus and in the community. Upon graduation, student leaders of United Way campus chapters join an alumni network that helps them stay involved in community change for the long term.

1) Giving, Advocating, and Volunteering in the areas of Education, Earnings, and Essentials,

Indiana University Campaign

Indiana University Campaign for United Way
Thanks to the generous support of Indiana University faculty, staff, and students, a hungry senior received a warm meal, a child received a much needed mentor, and a family is getting assistance to make it through a crisis.

These and many other moments are only possible due to caring individuals throughout the community who participate in the annual United Way campaign each fall collectively donating over $1.3 million dollars to support the efforts of United Way and its 25 partner agencies.

For over 60 years, the United Way of Monroe County has been working to address the most pressing human service issues of local residents and is thankful for the incredible generosity of Indiana University student, faculty, and staff.

Student United Way is an active part of the campaign in many ways including:

Update Progress boards
Pledge Card Delivery (on campus)
Thank-a-thon
