At Fairhaven Senior Services and withing the Leisure Services Department, we offer a wide variety of volunteer opportunities Sunday through Saturday and all we ask for is a minimum of 30 hours over the volunteer experience. The hours can overlap during winter/summer breaks if needed. 

Volunteers help assist Leisure Services with planned and un-planned activities and provide meaningful conversations and interactions with the residents here at Fairhaven. Opportunities include: outings, outdoor activities, UW-W campus events, UW-W Children’s Center events, bingo, dog treat making, musical entertainers, crafts, exercise games, 1 to 1 visits and much more. 

Below are the time frame that we offer volunteering: 

Sunday: 12:30-4:30 & 5:30-8:30pm

Monday: 8:30-12:00; 1:00-4:30 & 5:00-8:30pm

Tuesday: 8:30-12:00; 1:00-4:30 & 5:00-8:30pm 

Wednesday: 8:30-12:00; 1:00-4:30 & 5:00-8:30pm

Thursday: 8:30-12:00; 1:00-4:30 & 5:00-8:30pm

Friday: 8:30-12:00; 1:00-4:30 & 5:00-8:30pm

Saturday: 12:30-4:30 & 5:30-8:30pm

You would not need to volunteer the entire shift (example: 9-11:30….2-4….) and could volunteer multiple times during the week. I do only take two volunteers per time frame. One thing to keep in mind is the majority of the PM/Weekend Leisure Service staff members did start up as volunteers, so this could lead to a future employment opportunity.

If you are interested in volunteering here at Fairhaven Senior Services or have any questions please feel free to call me at: 262-753-0010 ext: 1145 or e-mail: robinsonb@fairhaven.org
