Green County Area Community Action Guide

Looking for an opportunity to spend some quality time with other members of your community doing things that can make a difference in the Green County area? Check out the listings below for upcoming opportunities to get involved in a community activity that suits your interests.


Standing Requests for Volunteers

National Historic Cheesemaking Center -- Monroe

Needed -- Friendly volunteers to share their pride in Green County and welcome visitors to our area. Feel you don't know enough about the local history or cheese-making? No problem. We have an excellent audio tour and lot's of printed material to help people find what they are looking for.

Don't have much time? The commitment is as little as 3 1/2 hours a month. Fearful of being alone at the Center? We do our best to staff two hosts per shift.

The rewards? The pleasure of meeting interesting people, the satisfaction of helping our community, the challenge of finding answers to unexpected questions, the occasional opportunity when there are no visitors to catch up on your reading, and finally, the fun of it all.

If you are considering joining our family of volunteers, please call (608) 325-4324 or E-mail Miff@tds.net We'd be delighted to welcome you aboard!
