PITTSFIELD, Mass. - Berkshire United Way is currently recruiting Community Investment Volunteers to support positive community change and help achieve the aspiration of “Making Berkshire County a community of hope and opportunity, where every individual and family lives, works and thrives.”
Community Investment Volunteers assist in the community investment process by helping to evaluate proposals and allocate resources to programs that are in alignment with the community goals and can demonstrate effectiveness through measurable outcomes. BUW seeks members who have a passion for building a strong community, have an ability to function as part of a team, actively participate in the process, and have the time needed to ensure an effective process and outcome.
The anticipated time commitment includes up to two hours at the start of the proposal review process for orientation and training.
Training dates are:
- Thursday, March 19, 8:00am and 4:00pm
- Friday, March 20, 12:00 noon
- Monday, March 23, 4:00pm
- Location to be determined
- Volunteers need attend only one training session.
In addition, approximately 15 hours are required between April 6 and May 15 to review and evaluate proposals, and attend a team meeting(s) to discuss funding recommendations.
