VOLUNTEER CENTER, A DIVISION OF THE UNITED WAY IN WAUKESHA COUNTY
The Volunteer Center is the essential partner in improving the quality of life in Waukesha County through recruiting and placing volunteers, supporting nonprofit organizations, connecting people to information and resources, and participating in strategic initiatives that mobilize volunteers to meet local community needs
WHAT WE DO BEST
The Volunteer Center provides four fundamental services to the people and organizations in Waukesha County.
The first is PROMOTING VOLUNTEERING. The Center excels at promoting volunteer opportunities through the media, newsletters and flyers, and through the Center’s interactive website.
The second is CONNECTING PEOPLE. The Center plays a vital countywide role as a "One Stop Resource Center" that annually links individuals and groups to a wide variety of volunteer opportunities, educational opportunities, and technical assistance.
The third is BUILDING CAPACITY FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. The Center acts as the premiere training and development arm for many small and growing agencies. Seminars, “how to” workshops, consulting services, and a resource library provide vital means for staff, board members, and volunteers to learn about making good decisions for community organizations and promoting their effective and efficient programs.
The fourth area is STRATEGIC INITIATIVES. The Center proactively partners with community leaders, businesses, nonprofit agencies, and others to develop specific strategies in areas such as education, literacy, aging, and the environment that bring about needed programs to continue and enhance the quality of life in Waukesha County.
