Volunteer: JA BizTown Volunteer - Have fun and make an impact!

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!

Contact ssniegowski@jawis.org for more information. Thank you for your consideration!

Volunteer: Walking School Bus Volunteers Needed

Walking School Bus assistants and substitute volunteers needed!       


What is a Walking School Bus?

A Walking School Bus (WSB) is a safe, fun, and healthy way for children to walk to school together with the guidance of caring adult volunteers. Students get fresh air and exercise, while families enjoy peace of mind knowing their children are supervised along the way.

How It Works:

A group of children meet at a set location and walk to school together on a planned route.

Adult volunteers (parents, staff, or community members) walk with the group, helping keep everyone safe and together.

The walk usually takes about 20–30 minutes, depending on the route.

The WSB runs rain or shine (except in unsafe weather conditions).

Volunteer Details:

Volunteers can commit to one or more days per week, or serve as a substitute when a leader is unavailable.

No experience is needed—just a willingness to walk and supervise students.

A brief training will be provided.

Time commitment is minimal, but the positive impact is huge!

Why Volunteer?
This is a low-commitment, high-impact way to support students and school safety. Plus, it’s a fun way to connect with kids and the school community!

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: 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.
