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!

Position Purpose/Summary:

As a volunteer, you will aid Catholic Charities make culturally and linguistically appropriate videos lending your critical language skills. These educational videos cover important topics from school to housing, financial literacy, and more, which refugee and immigrant parents request to alleviate the burden of transportation to an English Language class or childcare. You will translate English text (either on PowerPoints or short scripts) and record voice-over videos in a language which represents Catholic Charities’ linguistic needs

The videos are approximately 3-7 minutes long in the language you speak with 7 or fewer PowerPoint slides. The PowerPoint content contains simple scripts for ease of translation.

If needed, Catholic Charities’ Community Educator will join you via Zoom to record the first video(s) together. Catholic Charities edits and posts the videos to YouTube.

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.

If interested, please complete our volunteer application at https://adoptsheboygancounty.org/volunteer/

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to DarlynS@scadopt.org

Class time can involve 1-5 participants. Our instructors are extremely attentive to all our participants needs. During each class a number of activities are planned. Each class is designed to bring our participants closer to the goals they have set for themselves. To assist in the smooth running of each session, our equipment assistant works with the instructor demonstrating exercises to be performed, patterns to be followed and provide general encouragement to all of our participants. Horse experience is not necessary.

This is a great way for volunteers to be introduced to all the magic that happens throughout our season!

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.)

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.

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.
