Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: 2023 Day of Action

May 24, 2023

United Way of Yellowstone County Media Release

Team Building moments are not always what dreams are made of, but if your company/organization is looking for such an opportunity that leaves everyone feeling good and accomplished, then you'll definitely want to get registered for United Way of Yellowstone County's 2023 Day of Action. Held on Wednesday, June 21 at Dover Park in partnership with Yellowstone River Parks Association, registration is open from May 22 to June 9.

Day of Action is United Way’s annual community-wide volunteer mobilization effort.

United Way explains that this experience plants seeds for the importance of volunteerism, mental health, and the great outdoors. In hopes of having a record-breaking year of volunteer turnout, there are many projects that are in need of volunteers: trail restoration, removing invasive trees, rock spreading around benches and shelter areas, old fencing removal, new fencing installation, landscaping and more!

Making a List & Checking it Twice

This season of thanksgiving asks us to look outside of ourselves and find ways to operate from a place of gratitude and giving back. We’ve pulled together a variety of ways to give back, not just during the holiday season, but all year-round.
