ALFRED, N.Y., August 13, 2026 – United Way of Cattaraugus & Allegany Counties (UWCAC), in partnership with Alfred State College, is shining a light on local volunteer opportunities at an employment/volunteer fair on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Alfred State College Student Leadership Center.
This event, hosted by the college’s Center for Civic Leadership and Career Development department, invites students to explore employment and volunteer opportunities with local organizations.
With help from UWCAC, multiple nonprofit organizations will be on-site for students to meet nonprofit representatives, learn about different ways to get involved, and find a volunteer opportunity that fits their interests, skills, and availability.
“Donating time and talent, at any age and any stage of life, is just as beneficial to a volunteer as it is to a nonprofit,” said Susan McAuley, UWCAC executive director. “There are so many opportunities for Alfred State College students to hone and share their skills, and make new connections, while serving in the community off campus.”
Attending organizations include:
- Allegany Council on Alcohol and Substance Abuse
- Allegany County Historical Society
- Allegany Hope | Allegany Hope Community News
- Alzheimer’s Association
- American Red Cross
- Ardent Solutions
- CASA-Trinity AIR Adventures in Recovery
- HomeCare & Hospice
- League of Women Voters of Cattaraugus and Allegany Counties
- Partners for Prevention in Allegany County
- The Institute for Human Services
UWCAC is working to connect individuals, workplaces, and civic groups with opportunities to make a lasting impact in our community, from year-round volunteer opportunities to events that celebrate the spirit of giving back.
