The Volunteer Center of
Washington County

Wisconsin

Celebrating 25 Years
 
of Linking Volunteers to Community Needs

Get to Know Us!

Our programs are  Volunteer Connection &  Resource Connection
 

Resource Connection
...
Connects donations and resources of all kinds to our member agencies. 
The Volunteer Center offers support and services to member agencies by coordinating Volunteer Coordinator Education, GrantStation, SurveyMonkey, Donations Connection, the Equipment Lending Closet, and the Used Computer Recycling Service.

Volunteers want to know that when they come to help, their time and talents will be utilized effectively! 
Volunteer Coordinator Education provides our volunteer coordinators support and education on key aspects of quality volunteer management as they develop their programs.  The classes and consultations we offer provide information, best practice examples, resources and support for volunteer coordinators who are improving volunteer coordination.

Nonprofit organizations rely on public and private grants to fund their programs.
The Volunteer Center provides access to GrantStation, an online registry of available granting organizations and grants. Staff members from our agencies come to the Volunteer Center to conduct grant searches.

Our agencies have many reasons to survey their clients, potential clients and the public.  The Volunteer Center provides access to SurveyMonkey,  an online surveying tool, that gives the agencies unlimited surveying options for all their needs.

Donations Connection provides nonprofit agencies access to the donated goods, equipment and supplies they rely on to do their work on extremely limited budgets.  If you have goods to offer, please call our office.  We'll be delighted to get your donations to places where they can be put to good use!

The Equipment Lending Closet provides a lending service to our nonprofit agencies who need specialized equipment for a single occasion or limited use!  The closet is the perfect answer to provide these items free for special events or education programs.  The closet is filled with equipment, furniture and electronics that give nonprofits essential tools.  Borrowing the equipment means that the nonprofits don't have to buy everything they might need!  If you have a piece of equipment to donate to the lending closet, we'll see it gets put to use!

Our Equipment Lending Closet Brochure details the available equipment and guidelines.  Click HERE to view!

Used Computer Recycling Service is offered to the residents of Washington County as a way of disposing old computer components and keeping them out of our landfills.  We try to place useable components back into service in our member agencies where they can be useful.  We recycle the rest!  A small fee applies.  Please see the guidelines.  Click HERE
