United Way Labour Partnership
Working together to strengthen communities across British Columbia.
Get Involved
Learn about ways you can take action in your community.
Unions are an important force for democracy, not just in the workplace, but beyond. Here in British Columbia, we have a strong social safety net in place to catch us when we need help. That’s due in part to the strength of the Labour movement and unions. The support that unions and working people give to United Way helps improve the lives of people living right here in our community.
Run a workplace campaign
Help us raise funds to support our community by mobilizing your brothers, sisters, and friends to support an invaluable program in your region.
Donate
Help build a healthy, caring, inclusive community by supporting people in need. Your generosity helps United Way invest in vital programs and services right in your community. All donations stay 100% local.
Volunteer
Give your time in a rewarding, hands-on way to make a meaningful impact in your local community.
Labour Community Advocate Program
As part of the United Way and CLC Labour Community Advocate Program, the course provides training on community involvement and working with community partners to make social change possible.
Interested in changing lives and strengthening our communities? Join us for Labour Community Advocates courses at the CLC Pacific Region Winter School or ask us to bring the training to your union.
