We hope you can soak up some summer sun this season AND think about how you can bring some of that light to children in need.

At CASA of the Fox Cities, we'll teach you how to advocate for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. If you are a good communicator who wants good things for children, this could be an excellent opportunity to truly make an impact. No special experience is required. We provide initial and ongoing training and support. 

As a CASA, or Court Appointed Special Advocate, you will be part of a team of people advocating for the safety and well-being of youth and children who have experienced abuse or neglect.

You will do this by:

No special experience is required! We will train you and you will serve alongside a staff member throughout your advocacy.

One of the most important results of your service is laying the foundation for resilience. Your continued presence in their lives tells them they are worthy of your time and attention. This feeling of worth is the building block of resilience that will help them overcome adverse childhood experiences.

Statistics show that the presence of just one consistent adult helps children who have experienced trauma. Could you be that person?

The best way to discover if advocacy could be right for you is to check out our website and attend an information session. These one-hour sessions are held remotely via Zoom. You will learn about our organization, and things to consider about becoming an advocate including training, how much time you’ll need, and so on.

Contact Leah for a link to an information session, or to find something that works with your schedule. You can reach her at leah@casafc.org or 920-257-4733 ext. 107.

We only train advocates 4 times a year. Our next training session begins in July 2024. Join us! Together, we'll bring the light of resilience to children who are waiting for their advocate.

We are looking for Volunteers that can help us work with the children in our program on reading, writing and math.  We are part of "Math Hoops", an NBA Math program under the Milwaukee Bucks division.  There is volunteer online training for Math Hoops.  VOLUNTEERS may also need to help work with children on basic math skills, tutor them 1 v 1 or possibly check in with their teachers regarding academic status.

Most of the kids in our program, but not all, live on or below the poverty line.  We use basketball to keep them on track academically, involve them in Community events that build character, and the children have fun through basketball training and a competitive level of basketball game play.  Our program starts where other community programs end, providing doors of opportunity for the future of these children.

You do not have to have been a teacher to volunteer, patience and caring are enough.  However, we would welcome any retired teacher or anyone with a teaching background that could help us.

The home life of some of these children is very difficult.  Your help and caring would be appreciated.

Saving Paws Animal Rescue would not be successful without the service and engagement of young people in our community. 

We have developed a list of ways for youth to support our rescue operation. Many of these ideas are from the students themselves. If you have an a new idea, we would love to hear it!

Wish list Fulfillment – locate donors for items from our wish list to bring to our rescue. This is a great way for children to directly help our pets by finding them toys, blankets, litter, etc. and it gives them a wonderful feeling of generosity and pride!

Party For The Pets – host a birthday, holiday, or other party and ask that guests bring donated items or money for the dogs and cats instead of a present. Schedule a time to bring these gifts in and receive a tour and see first-hand all the animals you are helping!

Rescue Spokesperson – pass out general information flyers or special notices regarding upcoming rescue events like Santa Pictures, Gift Wrapping, Garage Sales, etc. They can also print pictures of our animals and pass them out to classmates and friends to show off our wonderful pets.

Classroom Organizers – talk to classes at their school about the rescue and encourage them to “adopt” Saving Paws Rescue as a community project. They can hold a coloring contest (winners posted on our website) and raise donations or gather items from our wish list. Some schools have organized penny Wars and donated change to benefit Saving Paws animals. Groundskeepers – organize a rescue beautification project. Your child’s classroom, troop or other groups can schedule time to come out and plant flowers, bushes or even pull weeds to help keep our rescue a beautiful and happy place for our pets.

Fox Cities Festival of Lights is a nonprofit who creates the large walk through holiday light display at Darboy Community Park.  Most of our displays are built by our volunteers.  We need help fixing some existing ones and help building new displays.  

Don't worry, you don't need any experience.  We can teach you.  We do a wide variety of work including carpentry, welding, general assembly and others.  Did you know that all the lights get taped to the displays individually?  Yes we do that too.  It is a lot of fun believe it or not!  We work during the entire offseason to get this accomplished.  If you are interested let us know.  Thank you!

How would you like to be a part of a fast growing nonprofit whose mission is to create a fun event for families?  Fox Cities Festival of Lights just had a record breaking year in attendance and donations!  

We are still focused on growing this event to be the premier holiday event in Northeast Wisconsin.  To do this we need help promoting this event year round by getting new sponsors and more nonprofit organizations to help.  If you have an interest in helping us please let us know.  

Fox Cities Festival of Lights is looking for someone or multiple people to help with fundraising.  Because our event is free to the community so anyone can attend, we need to rely on local businesses for sponsorships and grants.  

We have also looked at hosting a fundraising event during the summer but would need help setting this up.  We are looking for somebody with experience in fundraising and/or writing grants.  This position would be year-round but you can help as much or as little as you can. 

Do you (or someone you know) have a heart for children?

Would you like to make a difference in a child’s life and give back to your community while also earning some extra income?

Are you interested in volunteering with an organization that saves lives?

The Community Blood Center is looking for volunteers who can assist with duties like organizing blood drive materials, taking inventory of promotional items, folding event T-shirts, packing snack bins, decorating Holiday floats, assisting with large seasonal drives (MASH and Holiday Drives) and so much more!

We are looking for volunteers to call when we need support one-off events including but not limited to the events above. We have no minimum requirement for time. Training is provided. 

Do you love snacks? So do our blood donors!

Our donors are our number one priority, and you can make sure they are treated as such! As a Café Attendant, you arrange the snacks, juice, coffee, and water available for donors once they have completed their donation. You also converse with the donors and ensure they are feeling healthy post-donation. This position is such a rewarding one as you are taking care of our donors to ensure they have a great experience and want to return! 

We have openings at our fixed-site donor centers as well as our mobile drives throughout the Fox Valley and Northeastern Wisconsin. There is no minimum number of hours you need to complete. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old.

Platelet donation offers an extra-special gift at a time when a patient needs it most.

Platelets are the component of blood that controls our bleeding, which means that when stopping the loss of blood is critical – in transplant recipients, in cancer patients, during traumatic injuries – platelets answer the call. They collect at the site of an injury to help in the formation of clots, which then allows the wound to heal.

Adding to their importance is the fact that they have a short shelf life, which means that they must be replenished continually. Thankfully, since our own body restores this blood component so rapidly, platelet donors can make a donation every seven days.

Platelet FAQs:

How long does it take to donate platelets?

A platelet donation, from registration to cookies, takes about 2 hours.

How often can I donate platelets?

Donors are eligible to donate platelets every 7 days. The average platelet donor donates 5x per year.

How does this donation differ from a blood donation?

The specific machine used for this type of donation collects platelets, a component of blood. Red blood cells and plasma, in addition to saline fluid, are returned to the donor during this process.

Who receives platelets?

Hematology, oncology, cardiac surgeries, and trauma victims are some of the patients who may receive platelets.

Is donating platelets safe?

Yes. All materials are sterile and used only once. CBC follows FDA standards and protocols. Safety is a top priority in all we do.

Are there incentives to donate Platelets?

Yes! We offer a special platelet program for donors to receive rewards for their donations.

High school blood donors are extremely important in supporting the needs of local hospitals and patients. In fact, high school blood donors account for as much as 10% of The Community Blood Center’s overall blood donations.

So what is the Gallon Grad program? This unique program is about more than just blood donation. It’s about helping others understand why blood donation is so important and to encourage others to make it a lifesaving habit as well. More blood donors means that we can help more patients. High school students join Gallon Grad as a way to give back to their community through donating, volunteering or encouraging others to donate.

In short, it’s both the first step in creating a life-long passion for blood donation and an opportunity to reward high school students who play a critical role in supporting their local community.

In addition to the satisfaction of saving lives, those who complete the program will receive:

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. 

Find and follow us on Facebook! Check out our website at www.outagamie.org/mentoring.

Be a part of our largest and most in-need-of-help department. Apparel is always plentiful and you can help at various stages of processing. Each piece is checked four times for quality. the First in donations, second by the apparel supervisor, third by the price processors, and the last time by the rack runners. This process allows us to keep our overflowing sales floor stocked with the best clothes for the community. Thankfully NO clothes are sent to the landfill that comes through Svdp.  

Price Processing- If you enjoy working around others and the idea of tagging clothes then price processing, offers a friendly setting. When you work in price processing you sit at an apparel station where you take carts that are separated by price and tag and hang the clothes on a hanger by size. These stations are in the center of the warehouse and a social hub. Some math is required at times but we will train you. 

Rack runners- Do you like to keep moving? Organizing and color coding? Rack runners take racks of pre-priced clothes and merchandise them on the sales floor. Rack runners also help to maintain the dressing rooms and return racks. This is a great option for anyone who loves clothes and enjoys social interactions. Rack runners spend the most time on the sales floor and therefore they get to know the customers.
