MONROE - Green County Emergency Management, in partnership with Volunteer Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Emergency Volunteer Management Grant, recently launched a new website featuring a centralized volunteer portal for nonprofits to post volunteer needs and for volunteers to search for local opportunities.

As more agencies post their needs, the number of volunteer opportunities available will continue to increase. Volunteers should check back regularly to find new opportunities. The portal makes it easy for volunteers to search for opportunities and get connected online. The rollout of the project is beginning in the northwest area of the state, and will eventually be a one-stop resource for finding volunteer opportunities in all of Wisconsin's 72 counties.

The volunteer portal also features disaster volunteer opportunities in partnership with Green County Emergency Management and the Office of Justice Assistance. Those wanting to volunteer in the event of a disaster can register their skills in advance so if disaster strikes, they can be called upon to provide assistance.

To post an agency's volunteer needs or to search for a volunteer opportunity, visit www.volunteerwisconsin.org. Visit www.we-partner.org/registry to search for disaster volunteer opportunities.
