Volunteers of the Week

Curative Connections' program volunteers are our volunteers of the week!


Curative Connections serves adults with disabilities and our aging population. In order to provide excellent care, individuals called program volunteers assist staff in the work they do with members. These volunteers help Curative’s programming run smoothly and add to the positive experience of each member. Program volunteers have flexible schedules and work in the areas to which they feel most connected. These volunteers engage with members by helping with art projects, exercise, music, lunchtime prep and serving, general cleaning, and anything else that is requested of the program. Additionally, volunteers act as chaperones on required daily outings.


On a weekly basis, Curative Connections serves more than 1,500 people, and the organization would not be able to exist within their budgetary restrictions without the help of program volunteers, who are an extension of the paid staff. These volunteers take time out of their busy lives to assist members in their day-to-day activities, and they love to make members feel special. Through the actions of these kind and caring volunteers, strong relationships are built, and members look forward to seeing them. Thank you to these individuals for all they do!

Rake Up Green Bay 2024

Coordinated by the Volunteer Center of Brown County

This fall event mobilizes volunteers to provide the important service of raking the yards of community members who need our help the most. Our goal is to target those in our neighborhoods who are unable to do this seasonal task due to a lack of family or friends in the area, a disability, limited resources, and/or financial constraints.


Volunteers will perform their service individually or in teams. Once volunteers are matched with homeowners, the volunteers will contact them to arrange a mutually agreeable day and time between October 19 and November 10 to complete the service.


We have one more home in need of rakers!

If you or your group are interested in volunteering, please email volunteercenter@volunteergb.org.


Thank you!
