Volunteerism

ELU members gain direct exposure to the many neighborhoods in the Greater Baltimore area and deepen their understanding of the challenges and solutions.

“In my ten years of experience volunteering with United Way, I have been blown away by the impact volunteerism has on the community, and on the people who serve.”

Eric Rosenberg, ELU Executive Council Past Chair and Senior Vice President at M&T Bank
