This is a special announcement for all men aged 15 years to !

Our annual concert season typically takes place in April and May. We will still perform at events during the summer: Memorial Day ceremony at the end of the Appleton Parade; Symphony Under the Stars at the ballpark; Bike to the Beat in Kimberly; and more. All male singers are welcome to visit with us at any of these events to discuss membership. Otherwise, our annual Season Opener / New Member recruitment picnic is August 31st, 2026, to begin the 2026-7 season.

For MacDowell new members, our Director holds Voice Placement sessions from 6:45 to 7:00 pm before the regular Monday rehearsals. Tryouts are no-stress; you don’t need to prepare beforehand. This meeting allows the conductor to determine your vocal range. The two of you will decide your voice: 1st tenor, 2nd tenor, baritone, or bass. The only skill requirement is the ability to carry a tune. You are welcome to learn music by ear or by reading music. Sheet music is provided to all members, and recordings are made available for home practicing.

We rehearse every Monday evening after Labor Day, starting at 7:00 P.M. in the Appleton St. Francis Xavier High School chorus room. The year concludes with the annual business meeting in mid-May, and we enjoy a short summer break.

MacDowell’s diverse membership spans a variety of musical experiences, with most members residing in the Fox Cities of Wisconsin, from Green Bay to Waupaca to Oshkosh to Whitelaw, and all communities in between. Although we hail from all walks of life, our common interests of camaraderie, community, and love of singing have made us a unified group for 93 years.

Ideally, new members join in the fall to prepare for the Spring Concert Season. However, we encourage interested candidates to attend any rehearsal to learn the details of the chorus. If joining later in the year, they may be non-performing members to become full-performing members the following season.

Please call (920) 460-9884 for more information about joining, or email our Recruiting Director. Justin, via join@macdowellchorus.com

With almost 20 boys waiting to be matched with adult mentors, we have an immediate need for male volunteers willing to be positive role models for kids! At the Outagamie County Mentoring Program, we work with the youth in the community who need us the most. We match kids with adults who help them out just by being a friend and spending a few hours a month together. A successful match is life changing for both the mentor and mentee! All of the youth in our program are between 6-17 years old and have been referred by a social worker from Outagamie County Health and Human Services.

Mentor matches spend about 4-8 hours a month together to develop a positive and trusting relationship the youth can rely on. Mentors expose youth to new and positive experiences that enhance self esteem and improve social skills. We find that many mentors enjoy getting to be a kid again with their mentee!

If you mentor with Outagamie County, you will receive all the training and support you need to make your match successful. We sponsor several events each year for our matches and also reimburse for mileage.

Reach Counseling's Prevention Education program is active in more than 70 schools in Winnebago and Outagamie Counties. We have a K-12 curriculum for sexual violence to educate about and prevent child sexual abuse in our community. Volunteer Educators will be trained and will present within the schools.

Additional training will be provided to answer questions from the students and respond if they disclose sexual abuse.

Volunteer Educators must be available between the hours of 8am-3:30pm Monday - Friday to present in schools. Some travel within the Fox Cities required.

Reach Counseling provides crisis intervention and emotional support 24/7 to survivors of sexual assault and their friends/family with the help of On-Call Advocates. On-Call Advocates are on call nights, weekends, and holidays between the hours of 5pm and 7am, or 7am until 5pm.

On-Call Advocates receive training to provide emotional support, crisis intervention, information and resources to survivors of sexual abuse and assault in Winnebago, Outagamie, and Calumet Counties. On-Call Advocates provide these services in person at a local hospital. Advocates work alongside medical and legal professionals to ensure survivors are supported while navigating these processes, reducing further trauma and re-victimization while tending to a survivor’s emotional needs. 

On-Call Advocates will work with nurses and law enforcement to provide wrap-around, compassionate care while a survivor receives a forensic exam and/or gives a statement to the police. On-Call Advocates may respond to Aurora & Mercy in Oshkosh, ThedaCare in Neenah, St. Elizabeth and ThedaCare in Appleton, and Calumet County Hospital in Chilton. To ensure a flexible schedule, on-Call Advocates are in control of which hospitals they sign up to respond to, as well as which and how many shifts they choose.

On-Call Advocates must have a driver's license, car insurance and vehicle while on call. On-Call Advocates take calls through their own phones, from their homes. On-Call Advocates must be aware they will hear details of sexual abuse and assault and should know how hearing these stories will impact them.

Volunteer at JA BizTown to inspire students as they learn skills related to financial literacy, community, work readiness, and entrepreneurship.

Located on the FVTC campus in Appleton, JA BizTown is an onsite learning experience for 4th-6th graders that gives students a place to put their classroom learning to the test. Students step off the bus and into the role of an adult for the day as they run our simulated town. They operate a credit union, restaurant, city hall, media center, manufacturer, logistical center, and other businesses with the goal of managing their personal finances, learning job skills, and helping their business be successful. They work hard as a producer in the JA BizTown economy during the morning and will switch into the role of a consumer in the afternoon as they spend their hard-earned money on goods and services around the town. This is an invaluable "real-world" experience for students from all over NE Wisconsin. 

As a JA BizTown volunteer you will be assigned to a business where you will support a small group of students/employees through their day at JA BizTown. Your role is to step back and empower them to shine in their jobs for the day. You will help kids stay on task while they do all the necessary work to make their business run smoothly. Training to support you in your volunteer role is provided the morning of the simulation as well as online prior to your arrival.

You can watch a video about JA BizTown here: JA BizTown Video.

We need 12-24 volunteers each day students are onsite. This is a one-day, 5.5 hour opportunity. Come and join us for a fun and exciting day at JA BizTown!

The JA Finance Park program teaches financial literacy to students in grades 7th-12th. They complete 12 lessons in the classroom with their teacher at school prior to their visit with us where they will put their learning to the test in our budgeting simulation. This program teaches essential skills in personal finance that lead to a lifetime of financial peace. 

Volunteers to work with a small group of students for the day, leading discussions and sharing your personal experiences. Students receive a life scenario, income, and credit rating with which they apply for loans, create a budget, and then try to live within that budget. Students gain a lot of eye-opening knowledge about how much things cost and how to live within their means. This is a great opportunity to facilitate hands on learning and ideal for anyone with a passion for financial literacy that enjoys working with students. Training is provided each day prior to student arrival.

We need up to 12 volunteers each day that students are on site. This is a one-day opportunity with many dates in the 25-26 school year to choose from.

Volunteers provide companionship support to hospice patients and family members at Cherry Meadows, and assist with various tasks that support facility staff.
