We make volunteering easier for everyone
The Hub removes the friction that keeps people from volunteering. By simplifying search, sign-up, scheduling, and communication, we lower the barriers so more people can say yes – no matter their availability, comfort level, or experience.
We lift up volunteer engagement leaders
Volunteer engagement leaders carry a lot – logistics, communication, engagement, scheduling, and relationship-building. We exist to make their work lighter. Through practical tools, shared insights, and a collaborative network of peers, nonprofit leaders get the support they’ve long needed but rarely had.
We strengthen community connections
When nonprofits, employers, schools, and residents plug into the same ecosystem, the whole county benefits. The Hub helps align people, opportunities, and needs so volunteering becomes a shared community effort rather than an isolated one.
We help nonprofits attract the right contributors
Every volunteer profile tells a story through their interests, motivations, and skills. By giving coordinators clearer insight into who’s raising their hand, we help organizations bring in people who genuinely care about their mission and are ready to make an impact.
We bring people together. Serving with others builds community.
The task at hand is important, but volunteering is about belonging, purpose, and human connection. The Hub helps make plenty of volunteer opportunities accessible all the time so people can find each other, build relationships, and contribute to a stronger, more connected Marathon County.
We support businesses in creating meaningful engagement opportunities
Employers want to give their teams a way to contribute, feel connected, and strengthen culture. The Hub makes it easy to find team-friendly opportunities and make VTO meaningful – benefiting both employees and the community.
When people feel connected, they take pride in where they live
Communities thrive when people feel like they belong – when they see their efforts making a difference, and their neighbors stepping up too. The hub helps spark that kind of pride by making service more visible, accessible, and rewarding. It gives residents a way to get involved in what matters to them and reminds them that this is their community to shape. It’s a powerful tool to help people take ownership of the place they call home.
Together Marathon County, in their words
“Together Marathon County and the B.A. & Esther Greenheck Foundation have been an invaluable partner in strengthening my work as a volunteer coordinator. Their trainings, networking opportunities, and ongoing support have provided practical tools and a sense of connection that’s often hard to find in this role. The Volunteer Hub reflects the collaborative spirit that makes our community stronger.”
