Community Helpers Needed
We are looking for people who help people!
We would like to get them all together so that they can learn from each other, network, and learn about different resources in Juneau County.
We are inviting all types of Community Helpers, from people who run a non-profit to the Department of Human Services, to volunteers of a community-helping local organization, to those who do good things in your community in an unofficial way. If you fit into this Helper category, you are invited to attend this free event.
This event is a collaboration between the Juneau County Leadership Program and Juneau County Economic Development Corp (JCEDC). We are calling it the Resource Roundup, and it will take place on Wednesday, September 18, 2024 from 9am – Noon.
Each year, the Juneau County Leadership Program (formerly known as ALP) learns about some of the fantastic people and organizations that help our community. We wanted to expand this learning and also include you!
JCEDC is working on a project to create a resource guide of services in our community to share with the public and let everyone know about 211 services, so this event is a great partnership!
This is the first year for this event, so we are still determining how large a venue we need. Details will come soon as to where the event will take place. We know it will be Wednesday, September 18, as our Leadership Program day.
We are also working with On The Line Presence, which helps with our marketing and knows a lot about organizing events. And the Juneau County Health Department who is sharing resources with us to reach as many of you as we can.
We are looking for sponsors to help us pay for this event (and hopefully grow it next year). If you are interested in sponsoring, discussing possibilities, or have questions about this event, contact either Tamaya Loewe at JCEDC tjoloewe@juneaucounty.com or Jessica Bilski at the Juneau County Leadership Program/Advanced Leadership Program (ALP) juneauleadership@gmail.com
If you provide a service or help out a community in Juneau County and would like to come to the event, it is free, but please register soon using our Google form https://forms.gle/JxfvQTYWnXZMzDE99
