Volunteer: Share some sunshine with kids in need - Learn about advocacy this summer!

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:

Learning about them Spending time with them Collaborating with others including social workers, attorneys, and direct service providers Identify unmet needs or services that might be beneficial to the child Provide written reports to the court on a regular basis

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.

Volunteer: Reading & Math Volunteers

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.

Work with our Urban Farm team to produce a greater harvest in 2024! Our Hoop House Helpers support our work by planting, harvesting, weeding, and implementing organic integrated pest management practices to reduce pest damage. We also partner with Feeding America to provide 30,000 pounds of fresh organic produce to families in need within our community. 

Schedule is flexible during business hours - Mondays-Fridays 8:30AM-3:30PM. Perfect opportunity for someone looking for an ongoing project, and someone looking to keep a regular volunteer schedule. Hoop House Helpers must be able to keep clear records, comply with organic agricultural practices, and work cooperatively with others from diverse backgrounds. Physical tasks include things such as bending, kneeling, lifting (generally 35 lbs. or less independently), standing, and using hand tools for gardening. Please reach out with any concerns, as we are able to make accommodations and have tools such as kneeling pads, etc. A brief 15-minute volunteer orientation is required for all new volunteers. Orientations are held Thursdays at 1:00PM each week.

At Riverview Gardens, our mission is to build dignity through job training and employment, and this all happens at the Urban Farm! Sign up now!

Volunteer: Support the Animals!

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! 

On-site volunteering minimum age is 11 years old.  Youth from 11-15 years old must be accompanied by parent or guardian. These are some ways to help off-site or in a group!

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.

Volunteer: Platelet Donors Needed

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.

Interested in learning more? Contact our helpful Telerecuitment team at (800) 280-4102.

Volunteer: High School Student - Become a Gallon Grad!

Overview

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.

What do you receive if you complete the Gallon Grad requirements?

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

A distinctive cord or pin to wear at their high school graduation A certificate recognizing their achievement as a Gallon Grad Recognition at their high school awards ceremony

Reach out today to get started!

Volunteer: Put the MEN in Mentor

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.

Email us at: hhsmentors@outagamie.org or call 920-832-5961. We'd love to hear from you!

Volunteer: Grow Native Plants

Learn how easy it is to grow native plants and how important they are in our landscaping. In the late fall/winter, we host workshops where volunteers create mini greenhouses by using milk jugs to grow the plants. Participants will be able to keep what they want from the plants they grow and the other plants will be used in our restoration projects or as a fundraiser for the Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance.   There are a few different options to volunteer with this program. Volunteers are able to come out and help collect native seeds as well as learn to clean those seeds (Summer/Fall). We need volunteers to help assemble the milk jugs – this involves cutting milk jugs, filling them with soil, adding seeds, then closing them up (Fall/Early Winter). These milk jugs need a place to live outdoors so volunteers can just house the milk jugs (Fall – Spring). No special requirements to house the milk jugs except space.   This program is locally coordinated by Fox-Wolf in Calumet, Fond du Lac, Waushara, and Winnebago Counties. Interested? Contact Katie Reed, Winnebago Waterways Program Coordinator, Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance, katherine@fwwa.org, 920-851-6472   Learn more about the process here: https://ripple-effects.com/documents/pdf/How-to-grow-native-plants.pdf

Volunteer: On-Call Volunteer Advocate

Reach Counseling provides crisis intervention and emotional support 24/7 to survivors of sexual assault and their friends/family with the help of Volunteer Victim Advocates. Volunteer Advocates are on call nights, weekends, and holidays when the Reach office is closed.

Volunteer Advocates are trained to provide emotional support, crisis intervention, information and resources to survivors of sexual abuse and assault in Winnebago County. Advocates provide these services over the phone or 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. 

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. Advocates respond to Aurora Medical Center in Oshkosh and occasionally ThedaCare in Appleton when the survivor is from Winnebago County. 

Advocates must have a driver's license, car insurance and vehicle while on call. Advocates take calls through their own phones and never have to be at the Reach office while 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. Advocates are in charge of how many and which shifts they take and the schedule is very flexible.

Volunteer: Apparel Processing

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.

Volunteer: Saving Paws - Cat Care

Enjoy taking care of animals and looking for a flexible schedule? Sign up to be a cat care volunteer at Saving Paws, a volunteer-run, no-kill animal rescue in Appleton.

As a cat care volunteer, you provide care to the kittens and cats temporarily calling Saving Paws home.  Duties include socializing the cats, feeding, watering and cleaning the rooms where the cats live. No previous experience is needed – we provide the training.  We have morning, afternoon and evening time slots for our volunteers. Each cat care shift is about two hours.

Once you complete general orientation, we will partner you with a trained volunteer who will show you what to do.  You will shadow that person for several shifts until you are comfortable to be on your own.  We use an on-line scheduling tool called Volunteer Matters for sign ups. The best part is you choose a time that works for you – we do not have regular open hours.

Children over the age of 11 can volunteer with their parents or another adult at Saving Paws.  The person supervising must go through Orientation and be fully trained as well.

While you do not receive monetary payment for your time at Saving Paws, you’ll be rewarded with kitty snuggles, plenty of purring and playful head butts from our grateful animals. Our cats love our volunteers.

To begin your volunteer adventure, please e-mail volunteers@savingpawswi.com or visit us online at www.savingpaws.com

While you do not receive monetary payment for your time at Saving Paws, you’ll be rewarded with kitty snuggles, plenty of purring and playful head butts from our grateful animals. Our cats love our volunteers.

To begin your volunteer adventure, please e-mail volunteers@savingpawswi.com or visit us online at www.savingpaws.com

Volunteer: Help a Child - Become a Mentor

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 www.outagamie.org/mentoring .

Email us at: hhsmentors@outagamie.org or call 920-832-2460. We'd love to hear from you!

Volunteer: Cycling Without Age - Trishaw Pilots needed!

TRAINING IS SCHEDULED!

Starting in the Netherlands, transporting people by trishaws has become a popular movement in the US. Make the Ride Happen is gearing up to transport those 60 years old and over on trails for fun, on the road to get to appointments and to participate in community events.

There is a need for "pilots" to cycle on the motorized trishaw.  Training on Rules of the Road and practice piloting the the trishaw are all provided by the Federated Bike Association free of charge to the volunteer pilots.

This movement is about socialization more than getting a great workout.  If you are a cycling enthusiast or someone who loves older adults and the outdoors, this is a perfect opportunity for you.

To learn more about the Cycling Without Age movement see https://cyclingwithoutage.org/  listen to the TED Talk by Ole Kassow and get excited about the possibilities with us!
