Wilder Volunteers Make an Impact

More than 500 community members volunteered at the Wilder Foundation in 2009. Whether you give a few hours a month to tutor a child, set aside a day to participate in social activities for older adults or take part in any of the other opportunities listed below on a one-time, part-time or regular basis, you can make a tremendous impact on the people we serve. Volunteer opportunities are available for both individuals and for corporate groups. To learn more about individual opportunities available, please see the list below. If you are interested in corporate or business group volunteer opportunities, please contact Donna Osterbauer at 651-280-2460 or email dmo@wilder.org.
