2026 Rake Up Green Bay

Volunteer of the Week

Daniel Ammerman is our volunteer of the week!

Through Dan's efforts with multiple local non-profit organizations, he has been a key leader in raising hundreds of thousands of dollars that go directly to supporting Wisconsin veterans, active-duty service members, and their families. With the non-profit Team One Mile, Dan is a leadership mentor, cycle rider, fundraiser, and past member of their board of directors. Each year he bicycles 700 miles and helps plan community events in six cities across Wisconsin. He also assists with the Community Foundation of Green Bay's veterans benefit golf outing, volunteering approximately 250 hours annually. In addition, Dan is a member of the board for Veterans 1st of NEW. He helped this non-profit get through the governmental approval process with Brown County and the City of Green Bay, and he helped secure gifts from major donors.

Disabled American Veterans of Wisconsin, H.O.O.A.H Wisconsin, Sons of the American Revolution, De Pere VFW Post 2113, and American Legion Post 11 are just a few of the other organizations to which Dan devotes his time. Cumulatively, his volunteer leadership roles have been instrumental in addressing the core needs of many local veterans, ensuring they and their families receive direct, visible, and quantifiable benefits.

As a U.S. Army Reserve soldier, Dan served his country for 39 years. Now retired, he has rededicated his life to supporting our nation's heroes and their families. Colleagues say his spirit of volunteerism shines through in every aspect of his involvement, as he gives selflessly of his time and energy to make a positive impact and inspire others. Thank you, Dan, for the countless ways you support area veterans, active-duty service members, and their families!

CASA Volunteer Training - October 6, 13, and 20

Every child deserves someone who shows up for them. When children experience abuse, neglect, or uncertainty, their world can change in ways no child should have to navigate alone. During these challenging times, having a consistent, caring adult in their corner can make all the difference. A CASA volunteer provides something every child deserves: a relationship built on trust, stability, and support. Through regular weekly visits, just one hour at a time, CASA volunteers get to know a child, listen to what matters to them, learn about their hopes and challenges, and advocate for their best interests throughout the court process. The next CASA volunteer training class begins in October, and they are looking for community members who are ready to be that steady presence for a child. You don't need to have all the answers, you simply need the willingness to show up, listen, and make a meaningful difference through consistency and connection. Because every child deserves to know they are seen, they are heard, and they are not facing difficult moments alone.

Becoming a CASA volunteer is a journey, and you don't have to take the first step alone. If you're ready to make a meaningful impact in the life of a child right here in our community, CASA would love the opportunity to connect with you, answer your questions, and guide you through the process of becoming an advocate. Training class: October 6, 13, and 20, 5:30-8:30 pm each evening. Minimum age: 21. Click here to learn more.

This program connects mentors with parents referred by Brown County Child Protective Services in an effort to provide informal support to families who seek guidance and empowerment. Goals include:

Fostering a meaningful relationship between mentors and parents, based on compatibility and mutual interest.
