When people give, they get back. There is a never-ending list of things to do and many people benefit tremendously from the help of volunteers. For example, Literacy Services of Wisconsin and American Red Cross wouldn't exist without generous people sharing their time and energy. The beauty of the Audubon Nature Center relies on volunteers who pluck weeds. Even the Great Circus Parade depends on volunteers to distribute water to spectators.
People can volunteer on a daily, weekly, monthly, or annual basis.
There are also different types of volunteering. Direct service means volunteering on a regular basis. Joining a board of directors or serving on a committee of an agency are other options. Volunteer on your own or along with friends or family members. Perhaps you've just moved to Milwaukee and want to get to know people.
