Great Marriages Mentoring Program

The greatest untapped resource to save marriages is couples with solid marriages willing to invest in other couples by sharing their testimony and example.

We invite couples who are passionate about marriage to use their gifts, abilities, and life experience to come

Most mentor couples do not recognize their potential to serve as mentors, but are identified by others as having a loving, committed marriage.

Curriculums

A mentor couple serves as a resource for couples who seek guidance and direction to address particular problems in their relationship. Mentors are trained with Prepare/Enrich materials on various skills like communication, conflict resolution, asking for forgiveness, etc. They also have access to our RelateWell curriculum and other resources for any given issue a couple may be facing. 

The mentoring sessions are designed to teach and allow practice in basic skills which enable couples to openly communicate, and enrich, nurture, and build a life-long relationship.

Mentor Requirements

A mentor couple does not have to have a perfect marriage, but should be a couple who is willing to share their experience and dedication to a lifelong commitment with others. We ask that couples be married 15+ years and be willing to invest time and energy in helping other couples. Great Marriages trains all mentors and provides the space and resources to help others.  Preferably, mentor couples should be faith-based as we offer both faith-based and non faith-based mentoring. 

Process to become a Great Marriages mentor:

Please email Jocelyn@great-marriages.org if you are interested in more information about becoming a mentor couple.

Thank you!

HSSC needs foster homes for all kittens under 8 weeks of age! Kittens are coming in faster than we can keep up with, and we need safe places for them to get accustomed to the world with safe people who can provide for their basic needs. Types of kittens typically needing foster homes are: neonatal bottle babies (need to be bottle fed every few hours), babies with mom, and older babies without mom.

All foster parents are trained by HSSC staff, and all materials needed for fostering will be provided.

Some needs are short term (week or two) where as others would be longer. Typically no more than 8 weeks time is needed from a foster parent. While an adult over 18 must be the person primarily responsible for the kittens, we encourage involvement from the whole family. In addition to helping our feline friends, this is a great way for younger children to get involved and to provide education about caring for an animal.

Occasionally fosters are needed for adult cats as well. Adult cats who are in need of foster are typically cats with fewer social skills or cats who have medical needs. The needs will vary depending on the cat.

We need help keeping our kennels clean! Kennel cleaning is done from 8:30am to about 12:00 pm, so perfect for those who like to get up and get moving right away in the morning!

Kennel cleaning volunteers must be at least 16 years of age.  Cleaners are expected to empty all things out of the kennels, spray them down with cleaner, scrub them, rinse them, and squeegee.

Volunteers will then set the kennels back up for the dogs.

This position does not have a lot of hands on with animals, as staff will be the ones to transport the dogs in and out of the kennels.

Allay's Hospice Companions bring comfort to patients and relief to their caregivers by offering a supportive presence, a listening ear, and a helping hand.  When visiting, volunteers may offer to play music or a game, read to the patient, listen to his/her stories and memories, sit with a patient outside or go for a walk, or offer assistance with other non-medical tasks. There are times when volunteers may simply sit quietly while holding one's hand, letting the patient know that he or she is not alone. 

Allay's Compassionate Companions profoundly affect the quality of our patients' lives by simply sharing their time. The amount of time you give is flexible and scheduled around your availability. We do take your location into account to assign patient visits that are within or near your own community. 

Hospice companions receive training regarding the philosophy of hospice, the role of the volunteer and other staff members, as well as, helpful skills for meaningful visits with hospice patients and their families. 

Volunteer and patient safety are our top priority. We follow CDC guidelines & respect the Covid-19 protocols of our partner facilities. At this time, volunteers are asked to complete a self-screening checklist prior to visits, wear a mask during visits and, of course, adhere to standard precautions such as frequent handwashing. Allay will provide the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to ensure safe practices can be followed.

One of the most frequent requests made by Allay's hospice patients are for visits from a friendly, certified therapy dog or therapy cat. Therapy animals have the endearing quality of showing unconditional love & affection that brings joy to everyone. They are a remarkable source of comfort & companionship, as well as a welcome distraction from the daily routine for both hospice patients and their families. Contact with furry companions can be especially meaningful to patients who are no longer able to care for their own beloved pet. 

Would you be able to help us fulfill some of those requests within your own community?

While many pets provide love and companionship in the home, not all of them have the temperament suited for this type of service. We require all therapy animal teams must have completed training and assessment with a recognized Animal-Assisted Therapy program before visiting hospice patients. (And, the human-half will receive additional training related to hospice visitation.)

MORE INFORMATION:

A.N.G.E.L.S. consists of Volunteers that provide bedside support to our patients with a calming presence during the final days and hours of life. Volunteers can read, pray, hold their hand and just "be there" for our patients during the final hours/days of life. These volunteers are needed on a quick response basis to give respite to the family or when family is not present.  No one should die alone. 

This position is as needed.  When someone is in the last days of life, the coordinator would contact you to ask if you have any availability to help.  We realize you have other things in your life and it is always OK to say no.  Patients are either in their home or a care facility.

Training is provided.  Must be at least 18.  Requires persons who can demonstrate empathy, compassion, and respect.  Good communications skills are a must.  Call Ann-Marie Fleming at 920-452-1851 or email ann-marie.fleming@compassus.com to learn more and join our team of caring helpers.

Still Recruiting, but in-person services are on hold due to COVID-19. Social distancing options are available.

Social Distancing Options: 

Items will be sent to patients at various locations.

“Quietly sitting with patients is sometimes all that's needed to offer comfort to patients.”   -Dale Willis

Friendly Visitor Volunteers - bring the "gift of friendship" to our patients and their families. Regular visits every week or two really brighten the days of our patients. When you bring a smile to them, hold their hand, talk with them, watch television, play bingo, or take walks with them your gift of time helps offer support and companionship!  It is also a comfort to the families to know another caring individual is looking in on them.

We serve hospice patients in various care facilities and in their homes throughout Sheboygan County.  This means there is probably a patient close to you.  Scheduling is flexible and most volunteers commit to four to eight hours per month.  More hours can be done.  Scheduling of visits is also flexible to meet your schedule.   Please consider giving the gift of your time and presence.  You will get so much more in return.

This opportunity will let you practice soft and social skills such as active listening, empathy and conversation.  It will also give you experience in a health care environment.  Both of which are pluses on a resume.  Training is provided at no charge.

Volunteers must be 18 or older with good interpersonal and communication skills.  They must have the ability to work independently with indirect supervision and a willingness to help others as a member of the hospice team. Compassus does an in-depth background check.

Any questions, please  call 920-452-1851 or email ann-marie.fleming@compassus.com to learn more about joining our caring family.

Support Group Facilitators create a safe, open environment where people share their feelings, thoughts and experience in a combined effort to better cope with and manage the shared problems of dementia. The goal of support groups is to provide emotional, social and/or educational support to group members.

Facilitator lead weekly or monthly webinar/teleconference meetings for family caregivers, adult children, spouses, or people living with dementia in the community. The groups are established in collaboration with the Alzheimer's Association staff and held virtually.

Community Educators are volunteer speakers who help provide live webinar education and expand the reach of Alzheimer's Association programs. Community Educators deliver Alzheimer's Association programs on topics related to Alzheimer's disease and other dementia using prepared materials. 

These volunteers provide live webinar education programs scheduled by Association staff and help identify potential community partners and education venues using their established community networks. Community educators assure that the general public, caregivers and people living with Alzheimer's or dementia are linked to Alzheimer's Association programs and our free 24/7 Helpline. They are true partners with our staff and extend the reach of our programs to all communities.

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.  

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.
