MCC’s Food Pantry provides food to 1,000+ adults and children each month, and connects families to supports needed to become self sufficient. We need your help to support our community by leading a Food Drive of non-perishable foods and other basic needs items to share with our neighbors. 

 

Host a Donation Drive

Hosting a food drive in support of the MCC Food Pantry is a great option for any individual or group who is interested helping those in need in our neighborhood as your schedule allows. The MCC Food Pantry is in need of unexpired, nonperishable food items year round and we rely on the community to support our neighbors who rely on our Food Pantry.

Volunteer: Neighborhood Association Volunteer

Interested in meeting neighbors? How about playing an active role in your neighborhood? Interested in joining an existing association or starting one, if not already established, to work on priorities you and your neighbors determine are important? Here's your opportunity! 

First a little bit about what a Neighborhood Association is: quite simply we define it as neighbors living within a designated area of the City who are concerned about issues affecting their neighborhood and who have decided to work together to protect and ensure a better social, economic, and business climate in their Neighborhood. Neighborhood Associations act as a “voice” for the neighborhood residents, a somewhat official link to local government and the larger community. Many neighborhoods find that by banding together and forming a Neighborhood Association, they are better able to meet the collective needs of the Neighborhood.

Since 1996, with Green Bay Neighborhood's assistance, Neighborhood Associations have produced projects that:

Launched programs to improve neighborhood safety. Provided neighborhood residents with leadership training opportunities. Enhanced the community image by beautifying elements in Green Bay neighborhoods. Educated residents on zoning issues and new developments that impact your area of the city. Created, planned, and facilitated neighborhood events and activities for neighbors to connect. Placed public art pieces in neighborhoods. 

Sounds like something you'd be interested in? If you'd like to get connected with an existing Neighborhood Association, please contact Green Bay Neighborhood's Lead Staff and Community Outreach Coordinator, Vicki at vicki@gbneighborhoods.org or call 920-593-3716. If you'd like to explore organizing a new Neighborhood Association or reactivating one that has become dormant, contact the City of Green Bay's Neighborhood Support Specialist, Toni Loch toni.Loch@greenbaywi.gov or call 920-448-3350.

Volunteer: Tour Guide

Do you love history, science, and art exhibits and sharing your enthusiasm for these subjects with kids? The museum is looking for volunteers to lead school groups through the exhibits.

As a tour guide, you'll be responsible for leading groups of up to 25 students and their teachers/chaperones through the exhibits for 45-60 minutes.  Successful volunteers don't need to be experts on everything in the museum; we'll teach you everything you need to know. What is more important is enthusiasm, the ability to think on your feet when a kid asks a whacky question, and your ability to make the museum fun and entertaining.

Volunteers train by shadowing experienced guides, spending time exploring the exhibits on their own, and when they're ready, by doing a tag-team tour with an experienced guide.

The schedule is variable, but our volunteers typically lead between 2 and 5 tours each month, and tours are usually weekdays with most being in the mornings.

The first step is to fill out an application, which can be found at: https://www.nevillepublicmuseum.org/support/volunteer/

We will reach out to selected applicants for a short interview, and all Brown County volunteers must pass a background check.

 

Agency: Neville Public Museum

Do you love history, science, and art exhibits and sharing your enthusiasm for these subjects with kids? The museum is looking for volunteers to lead school groups through the exhibits.

As a tour guide, you'll be responsible for leading groups of up to 25 students and their teachers/chaperones through the exhibits for 45-60 minutes.  Successful volunteers don't need to be experts on everything in the museum; we'll teach you everything you need to know. What is more important is enthusiasm, the ability to think on your feet when a kid asks a whacky question, and your ability to make the museum fun and entertaining.

 We are a volunteer group in West Salem, WI that provides EMS coverage for the Village of West Salem, Town of Barre, and Town of Hamilton. We have been providing this service since 1986.  We respond to medical calls as needed, when paged out, 24/7/365. We average about 1.5 calls/day.

We are looking for volunteers that are in the medical field, who would be interested in getting volunteer hours while helping the community.  If you are certified as a first responder, EMT, paramedic, nurse, doctor, or any similar license we want you to join our team!  This is a great way to get some hands on experience and see what the real world has to offer and gets you that experience you need for your career path.  

If you do not have any certifications, you are still able to do our ride along program.  This involves riding along to the calls, and observing what we do, but you would not be able to be hands on. This is a good way to find out if this field is for you.

There is no set schedule to follow.  You are able to put yourself on call, when you are able.  All we ask is you try and put in 48 hours a month.

Responding to an emergency medical call requires a fast response.  Because of this, you would be required to be in West Salem so you can get to the station in a timely manner.  We do offer college students the ability to spend the day/night at the station.  A great time to get homework and studying done.  We have a full bathroom, and even a washing machine and dryer. 

If you are interested or have any other questions, please contact us.

Volunteer: Therapeutic Riding Lessons

Help support our students by volunteering during therapeutic riding lessons! Therapeutic riding lessons are horseback riding lessons for people with disabilities. Therapeutic riding promotes strength, balance, flexibility, and coordination. The human-horse interaction also promotes confidence, self- esteem, problem solving, and emotional regulation.

Volunteers are responsible for grooming and tacking horses for lessons, and side walking or leading horses during lessons. Side walkers provide physical, social, and mental support for riders as they walk along side the student. Horse leaders manage the horses during the lesson.

Currently, we are offering lessons on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights.

In order to get started as a lesson volunteer, the first step is to attend volunteer orientation, or if you would like to begin sooner, you may join any session of lessons as a volunteer shadow to one of our mentor volunteers. Mentor volunteers, along with the instructors for the class will help guide you through the process of volunteering for lessons.

Volunteer: Court-Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)

Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) provide a voice in the court for a child involved with the child welfare system for a case of abuse, neglect, or other situation impacting the child’s safety, permanency, or well-being. This is a crucial role for some of Dane and Columbia Counties' most vulnerable children.

CASAs are appointed by and act as the eyes and ears for the juvenile court judge. Advocates make weekly visits to their assigned child (either in the parental home, foster home, residential treatment facility, at school, or in the community), as well as correspond with caregivers, teachers, and other service providers to get a complete picture of the child’s history and current circumstances. CASAs, with the support of CASA staff, provide written reports to judges and parties to the case, helping them to make more informed decisions that ensure the child reaches a safe and permanent home as soon as possible. CASAs also work cooperatively with social workers, attorneys, and other professionals involved in the case to recommend and coordinate services that support the best interests of the child.

If you're interested in this rewarding volunteer opportunity, please respond to this post and fill out a volunteer application: https://wi-dane.evintosolutions.com/VolunteerApplication.

Please note that while everyone is invited to apply, this is an in-demand volunteer position, meaning we are unable to take on all applicants as CASAs. Due to the program's strong volunteer retention rate and the interest of new volunteers outweighing the case demand, applicants should expect to wait a year or more before they are able to receive training. As we are able, we will send out updates regarding training sessions to applicants.

Duties and Activities

Weekly meetings with an assigned child, as well as ongoing communication with family members and other professionals involved in their case. Review and monitor documents and records related to the case, including checking that case plans and court orders are being followed. Advocate for the child’s best interests to the court and raise concerns about the child’s health, education, mental health, etc. with the appropriate professionals. Keep the court informed by providing written reports for court hearings, appearing in court when necessary, and updating the court on developments with agencies and family members. Work cooperatively with individuals and organizations involved in the child’s life to ensure that the child and their family are receiving appropriate services. As one volunteer said: Be the glue that connects the pieces in a complicated child welfare system.

Time Commitment

Minimum 12 month commitment. A minimum of 1 weekly (1-2 hour) visit with the assigned child. Estimated 8-12 hours monthly to prepare weekly status updates, monthly court reports, and communicate with other professionals involved in the case.

Qualifications: General

Be at least 21 years old with high school diploma or G.E.D. Complete a Volunteer Application, clear a background check, and attend a volunteer interview. Attend trainings specific to the volunteer position. Ability to work with a diverse population. Ability to maintain confidentiality and objectivity. Access to reliable transportation. Warm, friendly demeanor and positive attitude.

Preferred Knowledge and Skills

Computer skills and familiarity with Microsoft Office. Excellent organizational skills. Personal and/or professional experience with child protective agencies, foster care, juvenile court, or other child service agencies. Bilingual volunteers strongly encouraged to apply.

Position Benefits

Direct experience for those interested in counseling, social work, law, and other related fields. Learn about issues facing children and families with special needs. Develop communication and report-writing skills.

If you have any questions or concerns about the position, please feel free to contact volunteercoordinator@canopycenter.org for more information.
