TIME / TIEMPO

SOC has a very small staff of organizers and relies on volunteer neighbors, students interns, and other near South side stakeholders to fulfill its mission and work. Volunteering has many benefits including contributing to a stronger near South side of Milwaukee and the greater community; developing greater knowledge, skills, abilities, and networks for your portfolio and life; gaining a deeper understanding of the community, its strengths, and its challenges; exposure to diverse people and organizations; and the list goes on and on. You can help with:

a single task like mailings and cleaning
an event
a project like neighborhood clean ups or resident surveys
an infrastructure need like social media or office work
a program like translations or housing info. & resources workshops

Our interns (field placements, work study, community service, etc.) focus on one major area of interest and also complete a circuit through our community work and infrastructure support.
