MARKETING

Video Production
Are you a wiz at iMovie or Final Cut Express? United Way of Western Connecticut always has a need for a creative volunteer to produce engaging videos that often include both stills and video footage. We also have the complete works of Garage Band sampling music for adding soundtracks -- fun, fun!

Photography
Are you a shutterbug and particularly great at capturing someone's character in a photo? We get out there when we can to snap pictures of our volunteers and donors for promotional materials and recognition campaign, but we need someone to help us get more. Call us and we'll set up a full day of photo opps!

To volunteer for either of the above items of interest, or for more information, contact:
David Deschenes at ddeschenes@uwwesternct.org or at 203-792-5330 Ext 247.
