Pocono Mountains United Way’s 2025/2026 Resource Investment Process is now underway, which means we will be looking for volunteers to review applications starting in February. Since our resource investment process is a community effort, we rely on volunteers from throughout Monroe County to help us evaluate agency applications.

Who can participate? Anyone over 18 years of age who lives, works, worships, or attends school in Monroe County.

Our process involves two types of reviews, Finance Panel and Program Panel.

Finance Panel volunteers will begin in February to review the financial sections of the applications. Finance Panel volunteers should have a financial background and be comfortable reviewing financial documents. Training for Finance Panel volunteers will take place on Tuesday, January 28, 2025 at 9:00am via Zoom (Recording available after the training).

Program Panel volunteers will begin reviewing the qualitative aspects of the applications in March, concentrating on the outcomes projected for the programs’ clients and the community. The Program Panel training will take place Thursday, March 6^th at 9:00am (Recording available after the training).

The attached PMUW Resource Investment Volunteer Panels Flyer describes both panels and the expectations for volunteers in each panel. Evaluations are conducted online and on your own time!
