Opportunities From: Volunteers United

The vigil volunteer program is designed to keep vigil with patients and families during the dying process. A hospice vigil volunteer is one of Heartland's most special and fulfilling opportunities. Support may involve prayer (reading from the Bible or other material that is comforting for patient), providing respite to family (allowing them to step away and grab a bite to eat/take a break) or simply being present...providing comfort and peace of mind to all that the patient is not alone. Vigil volunteers, in collaboration with the hospice team, can help provide the patient with the most valuable gift - a loving presence. 

Our vigil volunteer program is more of an "on-call" opportunity; vigil support is based upon request of patient's family or care-giving team. Scheduling of vigil takes into consideration the volunteer's location and availability.

Applicants must attend an orientation to learn about the philosophy of hospice, the role of a vigil volunteer, and skills related to caring for and communicating with hospice patients and their families. Emphasis is on providing comfort during the dying process. Requirements for vigil volunteers: 18 years of age or older, complete a TB test, must agree to background and reference check, must be appropriately coping with any personal losses, impeccable communication skills, sound judgment regarding issues of death and dying, and ability to work independently with indirect supervision. Characteristics that Heartland is looking for in a vigil volunteer include: a positive outlook on life, flexibility, empathy, sensitivity to issues around death and dying, compassion, a willingness to help others and ability to work as a member of the hospice team. Reliable transportation is a must! 

If you live in Oak Creek, or a surrounding community, and would like to provide support to hospice patients during their greatest hour of need, please contact Volunteer Coordinator Gypsi at 414-944-2000; cheryl.kernats@heartlandhospice.com. We're waiting to hear from you!

Walk, talk, and make a difference! Volunteers are welcome to join our Older Adults on their outings with a goal to boost physical health through consistent, group walking. These programs ensure safe, enjoyable, and flexible pacing, aiming to enhance both mental and physical wellness.

A new experience is coming to Discovery World this summer: Mobilab! Mobilab is a hands-on lab where young explorers use trial and error to design and build their own mini cars using modular pieces. Get ready to craft different toy vehicles and put them through some wild challenges. Tinker, test, and tweak until your creation zooms just the way you like it! 

We are looking for volunteers to add to the Mobilab experience. Volunteers will be facilitating an activity about stability near the Mobilab exhibit. Use identical water bottles filled with various levels of water to discuss centers of gravity, helping guests make hypotheses and use logical thinking. Guests can then take the knowledge they've gained from the activity to improve their vehicles in Mobilab! 

This position will include interacting with our guests. Training will be provided. 

This position is mainly seated. It does include carrying a bin of supplies to the table. Assistance can be given on carrying if needed. Volunteers will be seated at a table in our Lower Mezzanine space, near the Mobilab exhibit. 

Mobilab is a temporary exhibit, and it will be at Discovery World May 16 – September 6, 2026. Volunteers for this activity will be needed only between these dates. 

Volunteer shifts are 2 hours long, and we ask that volunteers try to serve at least one shift per week. Discovery World is currently open seven days a week. 

3-4 Volunteers can sign up on a first-come, first-served basis; dates are optional.  

Parents Place is a local, grass-roots response to child abuse and neglect.  Parents Place believes in improving the quality of life for all children and families through intervention, prevention, and education with Supervised Visitation, Community Education, and the Community Response  Program.  As a non-profit family resource center, we rely on individuals and organizations to allow us to serve the families of Waukesha County. Thank you in advance for your contribution to our effort to strengthen families and protecting children.

Wish List:

MCC’s Older Adults Center provides older adults 60+ a safe, welcoming place to stay connected, eat healthy, and be well. In addition to offering a healthy meal, the Older Adult Center hosts classes and events that enrich elders’ lives and strengthen connections. The center is operated in partnership with the Milwaukee County Department on Aging.

Please note that this is the first step of the volunteer application process. Before your first volunteer shift, you must complete the MCC application and have this processed with the MCC Volunteer Coordinator, Arlene Gonzalez. Generally, this process will take 1-2 business days upon your application.

Become a Certified Children's Vision Screener! Help us identify children with potential vision problems and set them on the road to healthy vision through children's vision screenings in your community.

Founded in 1958 by a group of dedicated volunteers, Prevent Blindness Wisconsin's mission is to prevent blindness and preserve sight in Wisconsin communities. We envision a Wisconsin where everyone enjoys a lifetime of healthy vision and we work toward this goal by providing free, direct sight-saving services, such as vision screenings, throughout the state. 

Volunteers help with vision screenings at schools and childcare centers throughout greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County that otherwise do not have the capacity to screen the children at their schools and centers. All volunteers are required to attend a Prevent Blindness Wisconsin sponsored Children's Vision Screener Training. The training will go over how to vision screen school-age and preschool age children and the last step is to attend a short virtual volunteer orientation. The children’s vision screening certification is good for 3 years. No previous experience with health care or vision screenings is necessary. This is an opportunity for individual adults, teens and small groups (maximum size of 5).   

Volunteers are required to complete and pass a background check, take the Children’s Vision Screener Training and Volunteer Orientation before volunteering. The online training and volunteer orientation take about 2 hours in total. To sign up for our online training, please email Breanna at breanna@pbwi.org for the sign-up link.

Time commitment: Vision screenings typically take place on weekday (Monday - Friday) mornings. Depending on classroom size, screenings take between 1 and 3 hours. Vision screenings start in September and go through May. 

Please contact Breanna Reckamp, Director of Operations, at breanna@pbwi.org or (414) 765-0505 to learn more and to sign up for a vision screener training.

The sky's the limit when it comes to what will bring a smile to a patient's face, but some suggestions include: crocheted lap blankets/shawls/slippers, fleece blankets, memory bears, seasonal items, veterans' appreciation items, stuffed animals (teddy bears) or pillows and any other craft item that will brighten a patient's room. Items can be dropped off at Heartlands business office in Milwaukee.

This is your chance to make a BIG difference without even leaving your doorstep! Please contact Volunteer Coordinator Gypsi (414-944-2000); cheryl.kernats@heartlandhospice.com) if you're interested in donating handmade gifts of comfort to our hospice patients. We're waiting to hear from you!

Host a Move-In Kit Drive at your workplace, place of worship, or school and help families moving from homelessness to housing. A Move-In Kit can include:

However, there is no wrong recipe for a Move-In Kit. All household items are welcome and help families establish a fresh start. Please note that Hope House cannot accept furniture or large appliances due to limited capacity.

Why Your Drive Matters

At 6 years old, a significant portion of Brielle’s experience included being homeless. Brielle’s family had been without housing for a year, doubling up with family and friends and when that was no longer an option, staying in emergency shelters before being connected with Hope House and moving into an apartment. Shortly after Brielle’s family moved into the apartment, their Case Manager, Leslie, visited with a move-in kit of household items and cleaning supplies. Something case managers at Hope House can do with the support of your donations.

Brielle excitedly greeted Leslie, gave her a big hug, and as her family went through the supplies, she found the dish detergent and said excitedly, “and now we get to wash our own dishes!” Brielle’s excitement for a task many take for granted is a reminder of the power of your support - providing stability, dignity, and the comfort of home to families.

How to Host a Drive

Hosting a drive is easy and you know your community best. We suggest having solid start and end dates for taking collections, sharing stories like the one above, and leaning into the strengths of your workplace, place of worship, or community. Hope House can provide signs and speak to your group (when available). We do ask that donations be dropped off at Hope House (209 W. Orchard St., Milwaukee, WI) at the end of the drive as we have limited capacity for pick-ups. Schedule drop off in advance and we'll be happy to give you a tour and share more of the amazing work being done together!
