Opportunities From: Volunteer Wisconsin

Nobody understands the concerns of a United States Veteran more than a fellow Veteran or Active Duty Military Personnel. Vet to Vet Volunteers know firsthand the impact of serving our country, thereby creating an environment where life review and healing may occur.

The goal of the Vigil Volunteer is to connect with patients during their final days and hours to help ensure that no one dies alone. This may be through companionship by being with the patient, who is dying or by providing support to family members who need a break from the bedside of their loved one.

Friendly Visitor Volunteers enhance the quality of our patient’s lives through regular visits and social interaction. Volunteers provide companionship by reading to a patient, going for social visits to reminiscence, playing cards or simply holding a hand and listening. Visits are based on your schedule and availability and patients are in your community.

Contact us today and let’s make a difference together!

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Brown County is a volunteer-based nonprofit organization that provides a voice for children who have experienced abuse and/or neglect who are under the legal protection of the court system.

We recruit, train and support community volunteers to advocate on behalf of children under court protection until they are safe and thriving in permanent homes.

CASA volunteers visit the child regularly & submit a monthly report to the judge on the child's safety and well-being to help the judge make important decisions on the child's future. Every CASA works closely with an Advocate Supervisor, on the CASA staff, who provides support and guidance throughout the court process and child's journey.

You do not need any specialized skills to become a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer. CASA volunteers are 21 or older, undergo a background, child protective services and reference check, take part in a personal interview, & complete CASA volunteer pre-service training.

CASA volunteers are patient, open-minded people from all walks of life who have good communication skills, a history of following through on commitments, and a willingness to accept guidance. Above all, CASA volunteers care about children and their futures!

All volunteers go through an initial 30 hours of training (15 hours of online coursework and 15 hours of in-person training). The training includes sections that guide you through the role of the CASA volunteer, the child welfare system, needs and development of children, trauma, mental health, poverty, professional communication, cultural competence, educational needs and permanency.

Once training is completed, volunteers are then sworn in by a Brown County Judge, taking an oath of confidentiality.

Check out our website to learn more and help us make a difference for children who need a strong voice!

The Dane Sanctuary Coalition has provided rides for many immigrants to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) offices in Milwaukee, Waukegan, IL, and Chicago, as well as the United States Immigration Court in Chicago since 2019. While there are 54 individuals currently on the email distribution list, some of the persons on the email distribution list have never volunteered because they don't want to drive in Chicago (well, no one does), some persons can't be away from home/Dane County for a full day, some persons are snowbirds, etc.  There have been a couple of times in which no one has volunteered to take an individual or a family to their scheduled appointment.  So, we are always seeking additional volunteer drivers.

The scheduled appointments typically are for:

There have been a few rides for medical appointments for which our transportation was essential, as well as a couple of rides to consulates in Chicago to obtain identification papers.

The rides to Milwaukee or Waukegan and back generally are completed within six to eight hours.  The rides to Chicago and back are full day + events.  Dane Sanctuary Coalition is able to provide a $25 reimbursement for rides to Milwaukee or Waukegan and a $65 plus parking reimbursement for rides to Chicago.

When one of the referring agencies have an immigrant/family who has an immigrant/family who have a scheduled appointment with USCIS or Immigration Court, Dan Zimmerman or Dineen Grow, the co-coordinators for the volunteer driver program, sends out an email to the distribution list seeking a volunteer driver for the specific ride.  Volunteer drivers only commit to a specific ride based on their availability.

For persons interested in volunteering – A virtual training session will provide further explanation about the role and responsibilities of a volunteer driver, USCIS processes, etc.  If you are interested in being a volunteer driver and the training, please send Dan Zimmerman an email message at zimmerman_dan@hotmail.com or call him at his home at 608-241-1158. 

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.

Keep families connected! A volunteer family interaction supervisor monitors visits between children in alternative care and their parent(s) or other family members. The volunteer’s role is to supervise the visit, making sure it is safe and productive. Transporting the child and/or parent to and from the visit is usually also part of the position. Visits are held at a site determined by the social worker and family and may occur at the department, in the community, or in the home. Visits can take place during the day, evenings, or weekends. The volunteer’s schedule is flexible and determined by the hours they want to work and the assignments they accept from the volunteer coordinator. Once a case is accepted the schedule is consistent. Mileage is reimbursed at the federal rate. Help strengthen our community's ability to assist families in crisis and create a ripple effect of positive change.
