Invest Your Time & Impact Lives at the Club

As important as it is for our members to have a safe place to be, it is just as important for the kids to feel heard, supported, and believed in. Volunteer role models provide that for our youth and help us to reach our mission of inspiring and enabling all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens. Join the ranks of these great role models by investing your time in the great futures of our members – volunteer at the Club!

Volunteer Opportunities

Spending Time with Kids

General Program Support

Engage with youth through homework help, playing board games, shooting pool, hanging out in the gym, art projects, having meaningful conversations, and other Club activities.

Passion Program Support

Share your passion with the kids! Volunteer in an area you feel most comfortable, like sports & recreation, the Arts, STEM, reading through our Page Turners program or maybe you sing or play the piano, whatever your passion may be, we would love for you to share it with the kids!

Commitment for Program Support Opportunities:

You can choose as few or as many hours as you would like to volunteer. For planning purposes, we just ask that you schedule your time with our Unit Director, Connor Schultz prior.

Great Futures Mentoring Program

Be a role model for youth! Invest your time with an individual member on a 1 to 1 basis by taking part in our Mentorship Program. As a Volunteer Mentor, spend a minimum of 1 hour/week with a matched mentee participating in a range of activities and programs here at the Club. Work together with your mentee to create a plan to grow in areas such as academics, social skills, mental/physical wellbeing, conflict resolution and more. The objective of this program is to connect adult role models with individual Club Youth to help our members continue to develop into strong leaders, caring citizens, and productive, responsible adults. Help us support Manitowoc’s youth in becoming the best version of themselves!

Ideal mentors are willing to commit roughly 4 hours each month (1 hour/week) for a minimum of 6 months.
