Welcome to United Way of Inner Wisconsin's Volunteer Center!  Our vision statement is "Building a Community of Volunteers!"  If you are looking for a cool way to LIVE UNITED, look no farther than the Volunteer Center.

How can you get involved in volunteering? There are several ways!

• You can browse our website to find the perfect volunteer opportunity that fits your interests and schedule.  You will need to create an account if you'd like to retrieve any contact information from an agency.
• Watch the Daily Tribune every Saturday to see the "Volunteer Opportunities of the Week." This can also be viewed in the Voice, GoRapids.com, and on River Cities Community Access.
• Or, just give the Volunteer Center a call at 715-421-0390 so we can discuss your interests and match you to an agency that needs your help!  You can also email Angie Loucks, the Volunteer Center Coordinator at angie@uwiw.org.  
• You can also get started in volunteering by participating in our Day of Caring, an annual event where volunteer groups rake leaves for our local elderly/disabled.

Every April we also host the annual Volunteer Recognition Breakfast!  We welcome volunteer nominations from the whole community.  Then we honor each nominee and recognize ALL volunteers during breakfast!

Why Volunteer?

The reasons to volunteer are numerous. Volunteering looks great on job/college applications and it's an opportunity to learn new skills and make friends. According to the Corporation for National and Community Service, volunteering could even add years and vitality to your life. People who give of their time and talents report higher levels of happiness, which in turn improves overall well-being by lowering stress levels, blood pressure and feelings of isolation. If you are thinking about volunteering, now is a great time to start!
