Why Work for United Way: 
Do you want to leave work every day knowing that you made an impact? At United Way of South 
Hampton Roads (UWSHR), you’ll work in a fun and supportive environment where every day is a new 
opportunity to make a difference. If you talk to our employees, the single trait we all have in common is 
passion. We work hard because we love what we do and we know how much our community needs us. 
Plus, we offer excellent benefits and opportunities for advancement. If you want to be great while doing 
good, join the United Way team. 
 
Objectives &amp; Expectations 
United Way improves lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities to advance the common good 
to help all residents thrive and live the best version of themselves. We all benefit when a child succeeds 
in school, when someone finds a job that sustains a family, or when more people get quality, affordable 
healthcare. United Way endeavors to drive measurable impact by focusing and accelerating our current 
agenda centered around financial stability, education, and health initiatives while remaining responsive to 
community needs with flexibility to respond to critical needs and crises. As our community recovers from 
one of the deadliest pandemics in our country’s history, United Way will play a pivotal role in helping 
residents from under-resourced communities and the ALICE population (Asset Limited, Income 
Constrained, Employed) move towards self-sufficiency. 
 
Serving as a backbone for our community, United Way will work closely with nonprofit and other partner 
agencies to provide enhanced job training, improved housing opportunities, access to healthcare 
programs and wrap-around services for ALICE households on their journey to self-sufficiency. The 
Manager of Thriving Families works closely with the Program Directors and Managers on the Community 
Impact Team to lead a team of case managers and coordinators and ensure accurate reporting of 
performance on agreed-upon benchmarks. 
 
Commitment to equity, diversity &amp; inclusion 
We take the broadest possible view of diversity. 
We value the visible and invisible qualities that make you who you are. 
We welcome that every person brings a unique perspective and experience to advance our mission and 
progress our fight for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every community. 
We believe that each United Way community member, donor, volunteer, advocate, and employee must 
have equal access to solving community problems. 
We strive to include diversity, equity, and inclusion practices at the center of our daily work. 
We commit to using these practices for our business and our communities.
