Give $5 Campaign Launched for Live United Week!
As the first true student run United Way in the nation, The Student United Way is committed to leadership through service and teamwork by educating, engaging, advocating, and fundraising to increase student involvement in the betterment of our FSU, Tallahassee, and Leon County community.
What We Do
Serving as a microcosm of the United Way of the Big Bend, the Student United Way strives to cover all aspects of service.
A Three Pronged Approach to Service:
Giving: To teach students to give back, to donate, and to invest in your community and in humanity.
The Student United Way is in part a fundraising organization, like all United Ways. These funds are allocated out to certain agencies and events that help others. 20% of our revenue will go directly back to students in need through a Student Emergency Fund, which works to help low-income students in times of need. You can help, by donating today.
Advocacy: To teach students to become politically activated, to teach students of social injustice issues and promotion of equality of opportunity, and to teach students how to engage in fixing some of society's most persistent problems.
Volunteer: To teach students the importance of volunteerism and the promotion of service to others. To make service to others an integral part of being a Seminole.
Please visit our FAQ page if you have any questions about the Student United Way in general and how we are different from other organizations.
Our goal for the fiscal year is to raise $20,000 by July 2009!
Yes, that is a lot of money, but we are Florida State University Students, and we CAN do it, by working together! Visit our donation page for more information.
