Volunteer: Volunteer First Responder

 We are a volunteer group in West Salem, WI that provides EMS coverage for the Village of West Salem, Town of Barre, and Town of Hamilton. We have been providing this service since 1986.  We respond to medical calls as needed, when paged out, 24/7/365. We average about 1.5 calls/day.

We are looking for volunteers that are in the medical field, who would be interested in getting volunteer hours while helping the community.  If you are certified as a first responder, EMT, paramedic, nurse, doctor, or any similar license we want you to join our team!  This is a great way to get some hands on experience and see what the real world has to offer and gets you that experience you need for your career path.  

If you do not have any certifications, you are still able to do our ride along program.  This involves riding along to the calls, and observing what we do, but you would not be able to be hands on. This is a good way to find out if this field is for you.

There is no set schedule to follow.  You are able to put yourself on call, when you are able.  All we ask is you try and put in 48 hours a month.

Responding to an emergency medical call requires a fast response.  Because of this, you would be required to be in West Salem so you can get to the station in a timely manner.  We do offer college students the ability to spend the day/night at the station.  A great time to get homework and studying done.  We have a full bathroom, and even a washing machine and dryer. 

If you are interested or have any other questions, please contact us. 

We need your help!

Volunteer: Senior Medicare Patrol - Help Educate Medicare Beneficiaries in WI

The SMP program offers volunteers an opportunity to make an important difference in their communities throughout Wisconsin.

Thank you for your interest in the Senior Medicare Patrol volunteer program. As a volunteer, you will play a vital role in the overall success of the Wisconsin SMP. The information that you will impart as a volunteer will help seniors in your community to become better health care consumers. Together we can inform and empower Medicare beneficiaries, their families and caregivers on how to protect, detect, and report Medicare fraud, abuses and errors. By volunteering, you will have an opportunity to use your talents, skills, and networking to provide outreach and education on Medicare fraud in your community. Volunteer involvement ranges from distributing materials, staffing a booth at conferences and outreach events, to giving group presentations. A description of these three activities is below.  

Information distributor: As a distributor, you help to transport and distribute SMP information materials to various sites, kiosks, or senior centers throughout your community where information resources are made available to residences. In this role, you do not need to engage in discussions with others about personal information or situations. However, you simply note all questions or comments and give them to the Volunteer Coordinator for follow-up. Exhibitor: As an exhibitor, you help to staff an informational table or booth at community events such as senior resources fairs, wellness expos, health workshops, conferences, civic or faith-based organizations, food pantries, libraries, or non-profit agencies. In this role, you provide information about the program to the attendees and answer basic questions related to how to prevent, detect and report Medicare fraud, abuse and errors. Presenter: As a presenter, you give presentations about the fundamentals of SMP to small and large groups. The role includes the opportunity for you to interact with the audience. If time allows, additional interaction will occur through Q & A and discussion at the end of the presentation. The presentations vary in length from 15 to 60 minutes. Depending on the time allotment and the audience, the presentations may involve a PowerPoint presentation, or an engagement activity called The FUNdamentals of Patrolling Health Care.

All positions require some training and an orientation. Training is provided both in-person and online. We want to provide you with the information and background you’ll need to be knowledgeable and capable of responding to questions from members of the community. The last two roles also require a background check.

Volunteer: Love Music? Volunteer at the Warehouse Concert Venue!

The Warehouse Alliance has multiple volunteer opportunities in our program the Warehouse.

The Warehouse is an all-ages concert venue that serves no alcohol.  National bands come through when they are on their way up, like Fall out Boy, Mudvayne, Nine Inch Nails, My Chemical Romance, Motion City Soundtrack, Mod Sun, Wookiefoot, POS, etc. 
We have young local bands perform with the national touring bands, to get real-feel concert experience. 
All of this gives the young adults of the area ongoing opportunities to congregate and enjoy music without being hounded to buy alcohol, consume drugs, etc.  Everyone that comes to shows is there to see and hear the bands and hang with their friends, as well as meeting new friends.

The Warehouse Alliance is the 501c3 non-profit that oversees operations of the Warehouse.

We have needs for assistance in several positions at the venue and offsite:
 

• Soda Bartenders - Work the soda bar during shows and other events.  Warehouse has a bar with an extensive soda list, with sodas from the US, Canada, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Mexico, Croatia, and more.

• Poster Distribution - Hang show and event posters around the Coulee Region at businesses and especially at schools.  Looking for intelligent students willing to be the liaison between Warehouse Alliance and Resident Hall Directors at UWL, Viterbo, and Winona State University.

• Load In Crew - Get a behind the scenes look at the music industry and assist bands with bringing gear in and getting set up.  This really isn't a job for someone who is small in stature or weak -- we have LOTS of stairs and music gear is not light.

• Load Out Crew - See behind the scenes and help with tear down and moving band gear outside.  This really isn't a job for someone who is small in stature or weak - we have LOTS of stairs and music gear is not light.

• Stage Crew - Help move equipment around, onto, and offstage during and before the show.  Adjust microphones, stands, assist bands.

• Box Office
 - Sell tickets to shows directly to people coming for the event, also for future events, greet guests, help direct bands.

• Cleaning/Maintenance - this can be anything from painting to window repair to stage equipment repair and more.  Usually during down times when there is no show.

• Data Entry - We are beginning to sort 28 years of concert posters, with the goal of scanning each poster and recording important show information into a massive searchable database for our website, for future generations to enjoy.

• Graphic Design - Upon occasion we are interested in people to work on posters, flyers, and our websites.

If you want to help the local music scene, join a fiercely independent, driven, bunch of music lovers who believe in the power of music.
