Opportunities From: Volunteer Wisconsin

Simple acts of kindness reaching our community. NOAHH (Neighbors Offering A Helping Hand) is a partnership between community members and Outagamie County Department of Health and Human Services to assist DHHS clients meet their needs. A county worker alerts the Volunteer Coordinator to a need. The coordinator then reaches out to NOAHH partners to help fulfill that need. NOAHH partners are generally groups such as churches or businesses that have a membership base, but individuals are also welcome. Needs may include new or gently used furniture, kitchen items, bedding, clothes, etc. There is no time commitment - just share the need with friends and coworkers to help find the needed item. Being a NOAHH Partner is an easy way to fulfill your mission of serving others in the community. Become a partner! Sign up to be a partner or look at our current list of needs at: NOAHH

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.
