United Way Campaign Committee
Each year the United Way Campaign is guided by a volunteer committee made up of members from the UBC Okanagan Community. The committee helps to set campaign goals and build campaign momentum.

We are looking for additional members to join the 2026 campaign committee. If you’re interested, please email unitedway.ok@ubc.ca and we’ll send you more information.
