Who we are:

At The Volunteer Center of Randolph County, we are more than a service—we are a movement of connection, compassion, and community impact. As part of United Way, we exist to empower individuals to find purpose and fulfillment by giving back to the community they call home.

Our mission is rooted in the belief that everyone has something valuable to offer. Whether it’s a few hours a month or a lifetime commitment, volunteering strengthens the bonds of our community, supports vital causes, and transforms lives—both for those who give and those who receive.

We recognize that behind every thriving nonprofit, successful fundraiser, and celebrated achievement are dedicated individuals and groups willing to lend their time, talents, and hearts. The Volunteer Center bridges the gap between people who want to serve and the organizations that need their energy and expertise.

We celebrate the diversity of our community and strive to ensure everyone, regardless of background or experience, feels empowered to make a difference. Through our programs, events, and partnerships, we inspire action, foster collaboration, and champion the value of volunteerism.

Our vision is a Randolph County where neighbors support neighbors, nonprofits thrive, and every individual understands the profound impact they can have by simply choosing to get involved.

What we do:

We serve as the bridge between volunteers and local nonprofits, providing a free referral service to match individuals with causes that align with their interests and skills. Our efforts include:

• Volunteer Connections: Pairing individuals, families, and groups with local organizations in need of support.
• Celebrating Service: Coordinating the Governor's Volunteer Service Awards, to honor the dedication and impact of Randolph County’s outstanding volunteers.
• Community Fundraising: Hosting the annual Human Race 5K, a dynamic walk/run event each spring that empowers nonprofits to raise essential funds while promoting health and community spirit.

Our work goes beyond matching volunteers—we aim to ignite a passion for giving back and strengthen the fabric of our community.
