Sponsored Campaign Representatives

A Transformational Experience

By participating in our program you not only make a meaningful and measurable investment in the community, you also make an investment in your employees and your business.

In return, our program provides a great way to increase the profile of your organization and give your staff the opportunity to discover and develop untapped skills.

Benefits to Your Organization

Getting involved is good for business, employees and the community!

Position your organization as a community-minded employer of choice to recruit and retain great employees.

Working under the management and guidance of a United Way staff member, Sponsored Campaign Representatives play a crucial role in providing leadership and customer service to hundreds of workplace campaigns. Well-run United Way campaigns make the greatest impact in responding to the complex issues in our community.

PCL is proud to have supported the Sponsored Campaign Representatives program since 1993, a decision we took because we know sponsored campaign representatives are key to making change in our community. We were also very excited to support the new mentorship program that helps foster a representative’s personal and professional growth. I recommend this program to those organizations smart enough to value the development of their future leaders.

– Chris Pullen, Vice President and General Manager at PCL Construction
