The annual Wisconsin Public Service Volunteer Awards were held virtually again in 2021, this year on April 22, and we celebrated the often-unsung people who do so much for others in our area. There are so many stories of kindness and compassion, from humble acts of service to leaders spearheading large-scale efforts — all of these make a difference.
The Volunteer Center of Brown County is proud to honor those who selflessly give of their time and talents to help improve our community. Award amounts are $1,000 for recipients and $500 for the runners-up, which is donated to the nonprofit organization of their choice. Youth awards are in the form of scholarships.

​Volunteer Center of Brown County’s Annual Golf Classic
Through funds raised at the annual Golf Classic, the Volunteer Center of Brown County is able to continue our mission of “creating a stronger community by engaging volunteers to support nonprofit partners.” This year it took place on July 21, 2021, at Thornberry Creek at Oneida.
This fun event assists us in helping thousands of people in the Brown County area during the year, through the volunteers we enlist and the non-profits we partner with. We are grateful to those who help improve our community, and we thank all our golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters who made it possible!

Annual Community-Wide Volunteer Expo
Attendees can discover ways to help serve their community and find volunteer opportunities that are just right for them. Area nonprofits can get the word out about their volunteer needs. In 2020, we pivoted to an all-virtual event, but in 2019, over 300 individuals were able to meet with many local nonprofit organizations who were just waiting to talk with them about how they can strengthen our community by volunteering! In 2021, it will be held on Thursday, September 23 in downtown Green Bay. To learn more, click here.
Make A Difference Day
A national day of service with a local impact!
Each year, hundreds of people join together and help senior citizens and others who need assistance with seasonal tasks to prepare for the upcoming winter months. Teams of people come together to rake leaves, wash windows, clean gardens and put away yard furniture.
You and the Volunteer Center — making a difference in our area!
In 2021, Make A Difference Day will be on Saturday, October 23, but you can serve whenever it’s convenient. For more information, click here.
