United Way

The United Way of Tarrant County’s Blueprint for Board Service program is an impactful opportunity to learn from and network with fellow professionals who are passionate about addressing our community’s most critical issues. Participants learn how to drive change in our community while serving on a nonprofit board, council or committee. Participation is limited to 30 people, and the session topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Governance
• Nonprofit Finance and Accounting
• Evaluations and Outcomes
• Outreach and Advocacy

The luncheon sessions culminate in a networking event with current board members of United Way and our partner agencies, not only to provide a time for additional learning, but also to match participants with available opportunities to serve.

“United Way has a special place in our community. Through their various initiatives, programs, and relationships, they have a tremendous impact. No agency touches more people in more ways. As a United Way volunteer, I wanted to give something back, but never realized how much I would receive in return. “
