Loaned Executives

How the Program Works

For the first two weeks of a 16-week period, the Loaned Executive will receive training that includes a structured professional development curriculum covering communication and presentation skills, project management skills, and interpersonal and management competencies.

Participants will engage in the community through group volunteer projects, tours of partner organizations, and by speaking with various audiences about the work of Valley of the Sun United Way.

The program will emphasize networking and mentorship through a variety of meaningful experiences to educate and inspire your Loaned Executive. From building relationships with key corporate contacts and presenting to different audiences, participants will expand their professional networks and advance in their careers. Their advocacy will help support both your organizations commitment to the community as well as the employee’s personal community outreach skills.

Option 1: Loaned Executives

(40 hours per week for 16 weeks)
Companies loan their employee(s) to United Way and release them from day-to-day responsibilities for the duration of the program. Full-time Loaned Executives manage multiple corporate accounts and work out of United Way’s office.
(Service period is August - November each year.)

Option 2: Sponsored Loaned Executives

Companies who are unable to loan an employee, can financially sponsor a Loaned Executive recruited and vetted through our program application process. Your company will be recognized as a sponsor of the program. In addition, the Loaned Executive sponsorship is recognized as part of your corporate workplace fundraising campaign.
