Do you have two or more free days each month?

Do you like birds or want to learn more about them?

Or maybe you want to become more involved in the community and donate time to a nonprofit!

Come volunteer with us! While we primarily need weekday volunteers (Mondays and Fridays mostly), we will gladly take new faces and helping hands any day of the week.

Volunteering begins at 10:00 a.m. and/or 6:00 p.m. every day. Volunteers provide fresh food and water to all birds as well as assist in any other cleaning tasks needed that day. Once the daily chores are done, socializing and playing with the birds is not only allowed, but encouraged! 

Want to volunteer but you're not the most confident with birds? Not a problem at all! We have volunteers with varying experience from no bird experience to owning large parrots.

We require all volunteers be at least 10 years of age. If between the ages of 10-16, you will need to be accompanied by a guardian.

At Access Community Health Centers, our mission is simple but powerful: Improving Health. Improving Lives. Each year, we serve more than 33,000 patients by providing compassionate medical, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy care to individuals and families who might otherwise go without. But good health is about more than medical visits—it’s about dignity, comfort, and the chance to thrive.

You can help close the gaps that create disparities in health and opportunity. We are seeking donations of essential items that bring warmth, stability, and hope to those we serve.

Picture and Chapter Books for and teens in multiple languages help nurture learning and literacy in our clinic waiting areas--but our collection is stronger based on your donation to keep our shelves full.

The Families + Neighbors Together (FNT) and Student Engagement Team (SET) program are community-based Sheboygan County Health and Human Services programs. 

The FNT program highlights our commitment to our community and residents. The work is centered in two City of Sheboygan neighborhoods where additional support is needed. The south side location is the Wesley House, located at 829 Union Avenue. The SET program is also located in this south side location. Our north side location is at St. John's UCC, located at 1248 Lincoln Avenue. 

FNT is community-focused and engaging to local stakeholders, not-for-profit agencies, schools and, most importantly, residents of these neighborhoods to create collaborative networks.  These networks focus on neighborhood-based prevention and early intervention efforts to support families, communities, and agency partners. This program offers resource referrals, advocacy support, and problem-solving assistance to residents in the areas of housing, food security, employment, and health via relationships.

The SET program is a voluntary program working with students at Sheboygan Area School District Middle Schools (Etude, Farnsworth, George Warriner,  Horace Mann, and Urban) , Howards Grove Middle School, and Random Lake Middle School. Students are referred by school social workers or other identified school staff. 

SET provides the student, their family, and the school district with an option besides the traditional responses of using a citation or making a referral to Youth Justice to address truancy. SET involves both the student and their family participating in agreed-upon supports and services based on their needs. It is the intention of SET to provide support and assistance so that students can be successful in school, at home, and in the community. 

The Wesley House location is also in the process of starting a community garden for FNT/SET families and neighborhood residents to utilize. This can be an avenue to build community connections amongst neighbors and increase access to fresh produce.. 

Details: 

Clients in both the FNT and SET programs are frequently in need of basic household items or food. Current needed items can be located on our Amazon Wishlist. Items donated will directly benefit clients in the FNT and SET programs. No donated items will benefit Health and Human Services employees.

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!

Be a part of a brand new opportunity!  RSVP’s Intergenerational Programs is piloting a new program this year called True Connections.  True Connections is a hybrid Computer Buddy/In-Person program that offers the opportunity to support student literacy skill development while also forging a meaningful intergenerational relationship.  Volunteers are paired with one fourth or fifth-grade student for the duration of the school year. The program provides both monthly in-person connections and weekly electronic pen pal-type writing through a blog platform to encourage a deep connection with the student throughout the school year. Program participants are asked to view a recorded training prior to the first Meetup.  Mileage reimbursement is available for the in-person Meetups.

The program kicks off with an In-Person Meetup on Monday, September 29, at 3:30 pm at Lake View Elementary.  Each monthly meetup will include an activity focused on an area of life connection. (ie: food, music, arts, literature, etc.) Weekly electronic pen pal communications continue to develop the relationship by co-creating ideas and deepening connections between in-person Meetups.

Application processors work within an animal adoption software program.  The program provides detailed information about each cat adoption applicant. The processor uses this information to follow several steps in making a decision about whether the applicant meets criteria for adoption. 

The steps include checking for previous applications from the applicant, conducting a background check on all adults in the household, checking home ownership in online records or phoning/emailing landlords for apartment dwellers, calling vets for care history on current and past animals, and calling one to two personal references.

Once the steps are completed, the processor updates the software program on the status for that applicant. If approved the processor sends the application on to an adoption coordinator.

The steps can usually be completed for four applicants within 2-3 hours. If information is requested of applicants or calls are not completed to vets or landlords, more time during the day can be required.

Host a Move-In Kit Drive at your workplace, place of worship, or school and help families moving from homelessness to housing. A Move-In Kit can include:

However, there is no wrong recipe for a Move-In Kit. All household items are welcome and help families establish a fresh start. Please note that Hope House cannot accept furniture or large appliances due to limited capacity.

Why Your Drive Matters

At 6 years old, a significant portion of Brielle’s experience included being homeless. Brielle’s family had been without housing for a year, doubling up with family and friends and when that was no longer an option, staying in emergency shelters before being connected with Hope House and moving into an apartment. Shortly after Brielle’s family moved into the apartment, their Case Manager, Leslie, visited with a move-in kit of household items and cleaning supplies. Something case managers at Hope House can do with the support of your donations.

Brielle excitedly greeted Leslie, gave her a big hug, and as her family went through the supplies, she found the dish detergent and said excitedly, “and now we get to wash our own dishes!” Brielle’s excitement for a task many take for granted is a reminder of the power of your support - providing stability, dignity, and the comfort of home to families.

How to Host a Drive

Hosting a drive is easy and you know your community best. We suggest having solid start and end dates for taking collections, sharing stories like the one above, and leaning into the strengths of your workplace, place of worship, or community. Hope House can provide signs and speak to your group (when available). We do ask that donations be dropped off at Hope House (209 W. Orchard St., Milwaukee, WI) at the end of the drive as we have limited capacity for pick-ups. Schedule drop off in advance and we'll be happy to give you a tour and share more of the amazing work being done together!

Hope Garden Project 

Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Services Inc is a non-profit agency that provides emergency shelter, transitional housing, 24-hour crisis support, empowerment services, legal advocacy, support groups, and youth services to survivors experiencing domestic abuse. 

We believe that volunteers are vital partners in fulfilling our mission and strengthening our organization. Volunteers provide us with their unique talents, skills, and time, that in turn plays a crucial role in serving our clients. We are committed to the recruitment, training, and support of volunteers to help us reach our goal in ending the cycle of domestic violence.  

Christine Ann would like to redesign the garden on the front lawn of the building into our Hope Garden. This garden will be planted in memory of those who have lost their lives to domestic violence, and to “plant the seeds” of hope to those affected by domestic violence. This spring, we will begin to plant the garden. We will plant throughout the year, depending on when the different plants will thrive best to be planted. We will then need volunteers to come in routinely to maintain the garden. 

Requirements: 

Must be able to kneel/squat for extended periods of time 

Must be able to work with hands 

Must be able to work in the sun for extended periods of time 

Have basic knowledge of how to care for plants successfully 

We are very passionate about this garden not only to honor the lives lost to DV, but also to honor and foster hope for survivors of DV. This project would not be able to come to fruition without the time, hard work, and support of our volunteers.

At Lily Home & Hospice, we strive to make the end of life as comfortable as possible for those we visit by providing care that is personalized to each individual. We emphasize our patient's quality of life instead of the duration and strive to make this experience more inclusive rather than isolated. Many hospice patients need and want someone to spend time with, and we are looking for compassionate, dedicated volunteers to give them that most basic of needs - human connection.

Lily Hospice Volunteers provide comfort and support through companionship, finding meaning in every moment. As a volunteer, you might spend time just talking, sharing stories and memories, listening to music or watching a movie, assisting with an activity or other non-medical tasks. There are also times to simply sit quietly with a patient to let them know they are not alone. We take our mission seriously, but we also have fun while partnering with our patients on their journey.

At Lily Hospice, we care for our patients in the comfort of their own home. For some, home might be a private residence, while others might reside in an assisted living or nursing facility/health center. Visitors are needed throughout the Grafton/Cedarburg area. We do take into account your location to assign visits that are within or near your own community.
