Needs From: Volunteer Dodge

Volunteer: Family Selection & Nurturing Committee Members Needed!

Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, strengthen communities, and empower low-income households. The Family Selection and Nurturing Committee’s purpose is to guide selection and assist households pursuing enrollment into Habitat for Humanity’s Homeownership Program.  The committee also serves to support the families through the transition to becoming homeowners. The Family Selection and Nurturing Committee aims to be thorough in its processes and empathetic to the families we reach.

Our committee members are: Empathetic, Community focused, able to attend monthly meetings via Zoom, and be comfortable mentoring and interviewing Habitat Partner Families.  

The monthly time commitment ranges from 2-4 hours a month depending on your level of involvement in the committee.  We are currently kickstarting a Dodge County branch for our families.  We will work to get committee members educated on the Homeownership Program and it's needs.  Once Habitat for Humanity's application cycles back to Dodge County, we will be in session evaluating applicants and following the program requirements.  Then we will be on periodic hiatuses while the applications switch between Washington and Dodge County.  We ask that members commit to at least a year as our families are typically in the program for 1-2 years at least.

Volunteer: Recycling Tech (AKA Dismantling Engineer)

So, not everything that comes to the ReStore is potentially someone else's treasure, we get that.

We don't want appliances and tools to make an impromptu Fourth of July show...so sometimes we have to recycle that favorite tool with all the cord bandages. (0;

That's why we have people that come in and take apart things and sort them for fine metals. Those metals are taken to the recycle center and that money is brought back to the store to help us build and repair Habitat Family homes.

Kinda fun taking things apart and seeing how they once worked and what's inside that thing that warms your food...can't break anything either...in fact it's your goal to break it all down.

How cool is that? Less in the landfill, more monies toward the mission!

Volunteer Application/Background check is part of process (takes approx. 3 days to be verified for volunteering.)

We are currently looking for volunteers to work three-hour shifts.  9 AM-12 PM, 12 PM-3 PM, and 3 PM-6 PM.

Please download from this site and email completed copy to BDReStore@hfhwashco.org, or contact us about doing it face to face, so everything will be ready when you want to join us.

Volunteer: Help translate Refugee Parent Education Videos in Ukrainian! Virtual Opportunity

U.S. Volunteers only, please

Parents from refugee and immigrant families in the US want the best for their children and they work hard to provide their children with every opportunity to succeed. However, refugee and immigrant parents carry the extra stress of parenting in a new culture, while also navigating complex systems in a new country and language they might not feel confident in.

Please note that we do not work with volunteers who live outside of the U.S., as knowledge of local culture and resources are an important part of the role.

To best support parents, Catholic Charities has a series of parenting videos in refugee languages about topics that are important to parents from refugee and immigrant communities. These short, practical YouTube videos offer accessible parenting education in 10 languages. Our YouTube channel has over 2,600 subscribers who actively watch the content we release on parenting, updates to immigration law, and education.

How you can help

You can help by making culturally and linguistically appropriate videos by volunteering your critical Ukrainian language skills! We need volunteers to translate text (on PowerPoints or short scripts) and/or record voice over videos like this.

Skills/ Experience

Fluency in Ukrainian and English

No certifications are required, but experience interpreting or translating in the community Can work independently; however, also willing to ask questions as needed Must be 18 years old to volunteer

Check out our videos on Parent Teacher Conferences and Your Health Care Options to see what videos are like. The videos are approximately 3-7 minutes in English with 7 or fewer PowerPoint slides. Video text is usually short phrases related to daily life in the US accompanied by images. We create the PowerPoint content with simple scripts for ease of translation.

We can train you in our simple process to record short videos in your own home or you can come to our office to record. If needed, our Community Educator will even join you via zoom to record together for the first video(s) to help you get started. CC will edit the recordings (bloopers happen!) and post online.

Time Commitment

2-8 hours per month, ideally 1-3 videos We work with your schedule- Volunteers wanting to record in our office must be available Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm, but those recording or translating at home can do so at any time

Technology & Space

Ability to use Google Slides and Zoom (create free accounts) Have access to a computer and reliable internet if recording at home Have a quiet space to record without background noise or willing to record at our office

Training

Volunteers will receive training before they begin on how to access materials. If recording, volunteers will learn how to record voice over PowerPoint videos using zoom, how to upload recordings to our shared Google Drive, and general best practices for recording.

The Impact

While refugee and immigrant parents are passionate about their children’s education, many believe they cannot effectively help their children with homework or in other areas because they grew up in a different educational system and/or struggle with English themselves. These videos allow parents to learn the skills they need to parent in the US on their own schedule without the added burden of transportation to a class or childcare. While some videos have Milwaukee specific content, most are general enough to support refugee and immigrant parents across the US.

All of our programs are free to our clients, and we couldn’t provide the level of service we do without the help of our wonderful volunteers. We believe the connections between our volunteers and program participants make our communities stronger and more vibrant.

While refugee and immigrant parents are passionate about their children’s education, many believe they cannot effectively help their children with homework or in other areas because they grew up in a different educational system and/or struggle with English themselves. These videos allow parents to learn the skills they need to parent in the US on their own schedule without the added burden of transportation to a class or childcare. While some videos have Milwaukee specific content, most are general enough to support refugee and immigrant parents across the US.

All of our programs are free to our clients, and we couldn’t provide the level of service we do without the help of our wonderful volunteers. We believe the connections between our volunteers and program participants make our communities stronger and more vibrant.

U.S. Volunteers only, please

Parents from refugee and immigrant families in the US want the best for their children and they work hard to provide their children with every opportunity to succeed. However, refugee and immigrant parents carry the extra stress of parenting in a new culture, while also navigating complex systems in a new country and language they might not feel confident in.

To best support parents, Catholic Charities has a series of parenting videos in refugee languages about topics that are important to parents from refugee and immigrant communities. These short, practical YouTube videos offer accessible parenting education in 10 languages. Our YouTube channel has over 2,600 subscribers who actively watch the content we release on parenting, updates to immigration law, and education.

How you can help

You can help Catholic Charities make culturally and linguistically appropriate videos by volunteering your critical language skills! We need volunteers to translate text (on PowerPoints or short scripts) and/or record voice over videos like this in refugee languages.

Check out our videos on Parent Teacher Conferences and Your Health Care Options to see what videos are like. The videos are approximately 3-7 minutes in English with 7 or fewer PowerPoint slides. Video text is usually short phrases related to daily life in the US accompanied by images. We create the PowerPoint content with simple scripts for ease of translation.

We can train you in our simple process to record short videos in your own home or you can come to our office to record. If needed, our Community Educator will even join you via zoom to record together for the first video(s) to help you get started. CC will edit the recordings (bloopers happen!) and post online.

Volunteer: Volunteer Stream Monitor

Do you live by a stream or river? Looking for a way to protect streams in the Rock River Basin? Become a volunteer stream monitor!

From May to October, our volunteer stream monitors collect data vital to understanding the health of our streams across the Rock River Basin. Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Dodge County Land and Water Conservation Department will use the data to better understand watershed protection and restoration needs.

What do volunteers monitor?

Volunteer stream monitors collect data on temperature, stream flow, dissolved oxygen, water clarity, and biological diversity of aquatic insects. Volunteers use state-wide Water Action Volunteers (WAV) program methods. Volunteers enter data in a state-wide database, providing invaluable information about the health of our streams.

Do I need experience to become a stream monitor?

No!  You do not need prior experience to volunteer.

How much time is required?

After attending the initial six-hour workshop, volunteers visit their stream sites once a month, May through October. Site visits usually take about 1-3 hours.

Where are the monitoring sites?

Volunteers are assigned to a priority site. There are usually several to choose from. All streams are wadeable.

What equipment do I need?

No equipment is necessary. RRC provides all water monitoring equipment, except for hip boots or waders.

Where can I learn more?

These videos provide a glimpse of what you will be monitoring as a volunteer stream steward: Water Action Volunteers website More info from RRC Still have questions? Email Addie Schlussel, Rock River Coalition Stream Monitoring and AIS Program Coordinator.
