You can host (aka foster) an assistance-dog-in-training in your home for 2 weeks!

Many of our puppies spend 8 months in training with carefully chosen inmate handlers at Stanley Correctional Institution.

The dogs go to homes of volunteers near the prison for 2 weeks during their time in the training program, in order to learn good house manners and get exposed to as many social and public situations as possible.

Can Do Canines provides knowledgeable training staff to support you, all of the dog food, and vet care.

By helping host a future assistance dog in your home, you are enhancing the quality of life for people with disabilities. These dogs will grow up to bring their people more freedom, independence and peace of mind.

Plus, you get to snuggle with a life changing dog!

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.

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.

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.

We're seeking a skilled and passionate volunteer photographer to assist capturing our enthusiastic volunteers and event attendees, from community gatherings to fundraising events.

Your photos will play a crucial role in telling our story, engaging our supporters, and amplifying our impact.

Our next OAUW Event is*:

*Photography volunteers are not expected to attend for the whole event. 

A Veteran volunteer is a person who has served or is currently serving in the military, visiting a Veteran on Hospice. Vet to Vet builds comradery that nonmilitary members can't relate to. Some things our Veteran Volunteers have done in the past are presenting veterans with a certificate and pin of gratitude for their service during a recognition ceremony when they come onto hospice care. They assist in planning and attending special activities and events for veterans. Veteran Volunteers also routinely visit Veteran Hospice patients and build relationships with them. As a Veteran, you will have first priority when we have a veteran looking for a companion volunteer. Great for veterans, ROTC, active duty, military family members etc.

Duties (any one activity will be very helpful): -Assisting in special events -Look for new opportunities.

Qualifications: -Positive attitude, organized, and possess a desire to honor our nation's veterans, and a desire to work in a hospice setting with the elderly, and a wide range of individuals.

Here is a link for a video created by Interim with one of our Veteran patients. This video really captivates what a volunteer can do and glimpse into what being a Interim Volunteer looks like.  Making Memories at Every Stage in Life: One Veteran's Hospice Story (youtube.com)

Respite visit volunteers provide regularly scheduled visits with the patient and/or the patient's family. Offer the gift of time to family members of patients in hospice who face the ever-present challenge of care giving. Hospice respite volunteers offer short-term (1-4 hours) respite care to patients, allowing caregivers to take a break, run errands, nap, etc.

Qualifications: Patience, compassion, flexibility, dependability, and good active listening skills are needed. Volunteers need to be able to establish and maintain boundaries. The volunteer must be able to put the patient's interests first. Being well grounded and possessing good common sense are important.

Time Commitment: Generally, visits are made 1-2 times a month and are 1-4 hours in length. We ask that volunteers commit at least two hours a month.

Location: Patient visits take place in the home of the patient whether it is a private residence, assisted living facility, or nursing home.

Benefits: The benefit of helping others who are not able to repay you is priceless. Complete training is given to volunteers to address all aspects of patient care. The Volunteer Coordinator will attend the first visit with each volunteer and will be available for any questions or concerns. Continuing education in end-of-life issues is available to all volunteers.

Sometimes hospice can be scary for people, and they want to help but aren't sure how if they don't feel comfortable visiting patients. Becoming an office support volunteer is a perfect avenue. With your help, patients will continue to receive quick, accurate, and reliable service. Office staff are often the "unsung heroes" but not around here! Without help keeping our files in good order, maintaining good communication with doctors and facilities, it would be impossible to provide the high level of patient-centered, family-focused care that we do. We would love to have you join our team and experience the satisfaction of knowing that the ill and vulnerable are having a better day because of you. You have a variety of office duties to choose from: filing; monthly bereavement mailings; copying; organizing resources; sending, receiving and distributing faxes; and special projects.

This could also be the perfect volunteer opportunity for a student wanting a career in an office setting. 

Being a hospice volunteer is an intensely rewarding experience.  Volunteers are given the choice as to what types of things you want to do and how much time you want to contribute (usually 1-2 hours per week).  Interim HealthCare believes that volunteers are often the heart of the origination because they give the gift of time to those in need. Volunteers provide support to patients who are near the end of life as well as their family, and caregivers.  Help is provided wherever the patient considers home, which could be their own house, apartment, an assisted living, or skilled nursing facility.  The goal is to help maximize quality of life when quantity of life is limited. There are two types of volunteers, Patient Volunteers and Office Volunteers. 

Patient Volunteers perform some of the following: 

Office Volunteers may also choose to help in the office with mailing, computer work, organizing supplies, and administrative duties.  Some volunteers have special training to help provide grief support.

Volunteers are required to complete an interview and about 9 hours of training.  They also receive ongoing support and training from the hospice care team.  Hospice education covers philosophy of hospice care; services offered by hospice; physical, emotional, social, and spiritual issues encountered at the end of life; effective communication when speaking with patients and family members; comfort care; the dying process; and basic information about grief and loss.  

If you are interested in this opportunity, respond to this post via email or phone call!  

A phone pal is like a pen pal, but instead of writing letters, it is talking over the phone! A phone pal is someone who is not able to go into a facility or a patient's home but calls them and talks to them over the phone. This person would call the patient and talk with them and be a friendly listening ear to a patient on hospice. While it may not be in person, it still gives an outlet to the patient of a person to talk to, someone to listen, and build comradery with to let them know they are not alone. A friendly caller may also make tuck in calls. Tuck in calls is where a person calls a patient, or facility where a patient lives, to ask if they need any additional supplies before we head into the weekend. Then take note of which person needs what supplies and let the nurse or aide know to bring these supplies at their next visit. 

Share Your Passion – Inspire Healthy Aging!

At Ashland Aging, we believe staying healthy is about more than doctor visits—it’s about connection, learning, and joy. We offer a variety of evidence-based workshops and programs designed to help older adults and caregivers live vibrant, independent lives.

When LeAnn attended her first healthy aging workshop, she was nervous. Living alone after her husband’s passing, she’d stopped going out much. But after meeting Carrie, a volunteer leader who taught a “Living Well with Chronic Conditions” class, she began to smile again. Her warmth and encouragement reminded her that she still had goals to reach—and friends to make. Now, LeAnn never misses a session, and she’s even thinking about becoming a volunteer leader herself.

Stories like LeAnn's are why we do what we do—and why we need caring, motivated people like you.

Our program leaders are volunteers who bring passion, experience, and heart to every class. If you have a background in working with older adults, caregivers, or individuals managing chronic health conditions, or if you're new to working with seniors, we’d love to have you join our team. All leaders complete virtual training through the Wisconsin Institute for Healthy Aging, and we cover all training and supply costs.

While a background check is required, the true reward is priceless—seeing a senior’s confidence grow, hearing their laughter return, and knowing you’ve made a lasting difference.

Join us in our mission to help seniors in our community remain healthy and vibrant.

Deliver More Than a Meal – Deliver Peace of Mind

Every weekday, Meals on Wheels volunteer drivers travel the roads of Ashland County—through Ashland, Sanborn, Mellen, Glidden, and Butternut—bringing hot and cold meals to seniors who are homebound. But the delivery is about so much more than food.

Take Jim, for example—a volunteer who delivers in Ashland. Every Wednesday, he knocks on Mrs. Anderson’s door with her favorite chicken dinner and a big smile. She always greets him with a story from her younger days, and before he leaves, she gives him a cookie and thanks him “for bringing more than just lunch—you make my day brighter.” For Mrs. Anderson, that visit reminds her she’s not alone. For Jim, it’s the best part of his week.

Meals on Wheels drivers are the lifeline and vital part of the team.

Meals on Wheels drivers not only ensure meals are delivered safely and on time—they also provide a friendly check-in that offers comfort to seniors and reassurance to their families. Knowing someone caring is stopping by each day brings tremendous peace of mind to loved ones.

Volunteer drivers use their own vehicles and donate their time, but the reward is priceless: the smiles, the gratitude, and the knowledge that you’ve made someone’s day a little brighter.

If you’d like to deliver more than a meal—deliver kindness and connection—join us in our mission and call today for more information at 715-682-4414 ext. 0.

Become a Volunteer Driver — Every Ride Has a Story!

When Mary lost her husband, she also lost her only ride to her doctor’s appointments. That is, until Tom volunteered to drive her. Now, every other Tuesday morning, they chat about family, gardening, and the latest local news on the way to her cancer treatments. For Mary, it’s more than transportation—it’s friendship and independence. For Tom, it’s the best part of his week.

Our Volunteer Driver Program depends on caring individuals like Tom. Volunteer drivers provide non-emergency rides for seniors and adults with disabilities—helping them get to medical appointments and back home safely. Each trip helps someone stay healthy, connected, and independent.

Each ride is more than just a trip; it’s a lifeline that helps clients stay connected to their doctors, their community, and their independence.

Volunteers choose how often they drive—once a week, once a month, or on call—and assignments are typically just part of a day (morning or afternoon). We work with your schedule and offer a mileage stipend. Some trips are shorter in Ashland County, others are longer - to Duluth or Ironwood.

Volunteer drivers use their own reliable vehicle and must maintain a valid driver’s license and proof of automobile insurance on file with our agency. If you have a reliable car and a few hours to spare, you can make a real difference—one ride, one smile, one story at a time.

Join our cause, be that difference, and make a new connection. Call us today for more information - 715-682-4414 ext 0.

Volunteering can be as flexible as needed. Volunteers are greatly appreciated and can help in several ways as listed below: 

At Heartland, we consider the chance to be involved in the lives of our patients and families both a sacred opportunity and a privilege. The love, respect and care our hospice volunteers provide is vitally important to our patients' overall well-being during challenging times.

Hospice volunteers say that being intimately involved with another person's death gives them a greater appreciation for life. Some say it makes them more grateful and less susceptible to getting ruffled over life's smaller hassles such as long lines and traffic jams [source: Hospice Volunteer Association].

Our Administrative Volunteers assist in ensuring our Care Teams are prepared and ready to attend a death, visit a grieving family member, honor veterans, train a new staff member, or admit a new patient to our services. Our Social Workers, Nurses, Physicians, CNAs, Spiritual Care Coordinators, Music Therapists, Art Therapists, Dietitians, Physical Therapists, and Bereavement Teams need the office support to be in the field and accomplish their tasks.

A Veteran volunteer is a person who has served or is currently serving in the military, visiting a Veteran on Hospice. Vet to Vet builds comradery that nonmilitary members can't relate to. Some things our Veteran Volunteers have done in the past are presenting veterans with a certificate and pin of gratitude for their service during a recognition ceremony when they come onto hospice care. They assist in planning and attending special activities and events for veterans. Veteran Volunteers also routinely visit Veteran Hospice patients and build relationships with them. As a Veteran, you will have first priority when we have a veteran looking for a companion volunteer. Great for veterans, ROTC, active duty, military family members etc.

Duties (any one activity will be very helpful): -Assisting in special events -Look for new opportunities.

Qualifications: -Positive attitude, organized, and possess a desire to honor our nation's veterans, and a desire to work in a hospice setting with the elderly, and a wide range of individuals.

Are you looking for ways to put your handyman talents and tools to work?  We'd love it if you shared these with Covey.  We often have the need to complete small maintenance/home repair tasks--anything from hanging a curtain rod, to installing a smoke detector, to fixing that dripping faucet.  We'd welcome some help for an hour or two every month and can be very flexible about when that hour or two takes place.  

The Seymour Park Food Forest project aims to help alleviate food insecurity and food deserts within the City of Green Bay by growing healthy local food in this public park in a way that is sustainable, costs less money over time, and reduces maintenance for the Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department.  It is a pilot project in partnership with New Leaf Foods, the City of Green Bay, and the Seymour Park Neighborhood Association. This project is located at the Frank B. Seymour Park at 314 S Ashland Ave Green Bay, WI 54303.

Volunteers are needed on an ongoing basis to help to plant, weed, water, harvest, and maintain the garden and food forest. Occasionally, special volunteer projects/events may also be held at Seymour Park. We're looking for volunteers with garden knowledge as well as people that want to learn.

Volunteers provide support to patients who are near the end of life as well as their family, and caregivers.  Help is provided wherever the patient considers home, which could be their own house, apartment, an assisted living, or skilled nursing facility.  The goal is to help maximize quality of life when quantity of life is limited. There are two types of volunteers, Patient Volunteers and Office Volunteers. 

Patient Volunteers perform some of the following: 

Office Volunteers may also choose to help in the office with mailing, computer work, organizing supplies, and administrative duties.  Some volunteers have special training to help provide grief support.
