Volunteer participation is vital.  One of the most valued assets of the  Wisconsin Resource Center is its volunteers.  The volunteer experience is a win/win situation for you and the Wisconsin Resource Center.

You can assist the Wisconsin Resource Center in the delivery of programs and services which will help the inmates and patients to become more productive, educated, self-sufficient, and law abiding citizens.

In turn, your volunteer experience can be very rewarding for you because you will be helping others rise above their circumstances as a direct result of your efforts.

Currently WRC enjoys the services provided by volunteers in most of our religious services programs and drug/alcohol education programs.  We have a need for volunteer workers in religious services, activity therapy, and in our education department.

As a Wisconsin Resource Center "Regular Service" Volunteer  (someone who volunteers on an ongoing basis) you may work a very flexible schedule contributing as many hours per week as agreed upon with your Work Area Supervisor.  As an "Occasional Volunteer"  you are encouraged to work at least 2 hours per month.

The Wisconsin Resource Center will provide you with adequate training and the appropriate utilization of your time and talent.

WRC Tour Information

One avenue which the Wisconsin Resource Center utilizes to keep the public informed about its operation and objective is by conducting facility tours.  Wisconsin Resource Center Staff are actively involved in the tour process and provides information to outside agencies on WRC's physical layout, programming, and objective.  WRC averages between 20 and 25 tours per year (with groups as large as 25) to groups such as Fox Valley Technical College, UW-Oshkosh, various Department of Corrections groups, and groups from the Department of Justice.

If you are interested in a tour for your group,  contact the WRC Volunteer Coordinator at the address or phone number below.
