Why you matter: According to the Habitat for Humanity foundation, many studies show that volunteering positively benefits psychological and even physical health. Not to mention the positive impacts on the people your volunteer work services! Volunteer work can also help increase professional contacts, improve or develop skills, and give work experience that can help you look better to employers!

Help local youth see what’s possible. As a Celebrity Chat or Career Tour Volunteer, you’ll share your career journey and give Boys & Girls Club members a real look at the world of work — either by visiting the Club or welcoming youth into your workplace. Your story could be the spark that shapes a young person’s future!

Two Ways to Get Involved

Celebrity Chat (You Visit Us): Join us for a 30–45 minute conversation about your path, your day‑to‑day, and what you’ve learned along the way. No slides or polished presentation needed — just authenticity.

Career Tour (We Visit You): Host a behind‑the‑scenes tour of your workplace. Introduce youth to your team and show what a career in your field really looks like.

Who We’re Looking For

Professionals from any industry — healthcare, trades, arts, business, athletics, and more. No public speaking experience required. If you have a story, you have something meaningful to offer.

Why Volunteer With Us

Many youth have never met someone working in their dream field. They haven’t seen those workplaces, heard the winding paths people take, or had someone look them in the eye and say “you could do this too.” One conversation or tour can expand their sense of possibility and help them imagine a future they didn’t know existed.

Time Commitment

Both are one‑time commitments with the option to return anytime.

Requirements

IF YOU'D LIKE TO LEARN MORE OR GET INVOLVED, SIMPLY SELECT THE GREEN RESPOND BUTTON AT THE TOP OF THIS OPPORTUNITY.

Help local youth discover their creative voice. As an Art Studio Volunteer, you’ll support hands‑on projects, encourage self‑expression, and help create a welcoming, community‑centered space.

What You’ll Do

Who We’re Looking For

No formal training needed — just enthusiasm, patience, and a love of art. Whether you’re an experienced artist or simply crafty, your support helps youth grow. Have a project you’d love to teach? Message our Volunteer Coordinator.

Why Volunteer With Us

Your time in the studio is more than a craft session — it’s a chance to make a lasting impact. For many Club members, art is a safe space to express themselves, build resilience, and discover a lifelong love of creativity. You’ll be a mentor, a cheerleader, and a creative spark in a young person’s day.

Time Commitment

Weekly commitment with flexible scheduling during open hours.

Requirements

IF YOU'D LIKE TO LEARN MORE OR GET INVOLVED, SIMPLY SELECT THE GREEN RESPOND BUTTON AT THE TOP OF THIS OPPORTUNITY.

Help young learners build confidence, curiosity, and essential skills. As an Academic Success Volunteer, you’ll support Boys & Girls Club youth in reading, STEM, robotics, and hands‑on science — creating breakthrough moments that help kids believe in their own potential.

What You’ll Do

Who We’re Looking

For You don’t need to be a teacher or an engineer — just someone who cares. Volunteers should be patient, encouraging, comfortable working with kids of different ages, and excited about at least one area: literacy, STEM, robotics, or environmental science.

Why Volunteer With Us

Academic confidence isn’t just about grades — it’s about a child believing they are capable. When you sit beside a young person and help them work through something challenging, you’re not just teaching a skill. You’re showing them their potential is worth someone’s time, and that message lasts far beyond the lesson.

Time Commitment: Weekly commitment with flexible scheduling during open hours.

Requirements

No special skills needed — just good energy, a playful spirit, and a willingness to meet kids where they are. If you enjoy having fun, you’ll fit right in.

Why Volunteer With Us

For many kids, the Games Room is the highlight of their day — a place where they feel seen, included, and free to be themselves. You might come in thinking you’re just playing a game. You’ll leave knowing it meant so much more.

Time Commitment: Flexible scheduling. Even a few hours a week makes a meaningful difference.

Wausau Metro Adult Special Olympics is looking for upbeat, encouraging individuals to serve as seasonal bowling volunteers. Each bowling season runs 8–10 weeks, with 1 practice, per week from 1 pm - 3 pm on Sunday at Dale's Weston Lanes and 1 Saturday competition on December 5th at Dale's Weston Lanes . Volunteers work directly with athletes, helping them build bowling skills, confidence, and a love of the sport. Whether you’re a teacher, family member, or simply someone who enjoys helping others grow, this opportunity offers a short‑term, high‑impact way to make a difference.

Every interaction with an athlete is a chance to build character, foster personal growth, and strengthen sports skills. Bowling volunteers help athletes compete with pride and often discover that the experience transforms them, too.

The Patriot K9s Puppy Raiser Program is a volunteer opportunity to help raise and develop future service dogs for veterans. Puppy raisers provide a loving home and daily structure for a puppy or young dog, building the foundation they need to succeed as a service dog.

After this phase, the dog returns to Patriot K9s for advanced training and eventual placement with a veteran.

Puppy raisers focus on foundation development, not advanced service training.

Responsibilities include:

You will help the puppy become:

  Confident  

  Well behaved  

  Comfortable in public  

  Ready for advanced training

We are looking for individuals or families who:

This can be emotionally challenging, but it is also incredibly meaningful.

Every service dog starts somewhere.

The work you do as a puppy raiser directly impacts a veteran’s independence, safety, and quality of life.

You are not just raising a puppy;

You are building a future service dog.
