Volunteer Opportunities

Call 920-756-3591 to request a volunteer application or print an application here.  We will review your application, then set up a time to meet in person and discuss the areas in which you are interested in volunteering.  Volunteers must be eighteen years or older or be accompanied by an adult for the full duration of their volunteer experience.  All teaching or program volunteers must receive a background check before working with children.  Volunteer opportunities for middle anad high school students are available through the summer VolunTeens program.
