Be a Voice for Change

Advocacy is at the heart of building stronger, healthier communities. At United Way of Forsyth County, we believe that lasting change happens when people come together to raise awareness, speak up for those without a voice, and champion solutions to our community’s most pressing challenges.

You don’t need to be an expert to be an advocate—you just need to care. By using your voice, your vote, and your influence, you can help create more Youth Opportunity, Healthy Community, Financial Security, and Community Resiliency across Forsyth and Dawson Counties.

Engage with local leaders and decision-makers. Write letters, attend town halls, and support policies that strengthen education, healthcare, financial stability, and resilience in our communities.

Talk with friends, family, and co-workers about United Way’s mission. Invite them to learn more, volunteer, or join a tour to see the impact firsthand.
