The Good Fight Community Center is an equal opportunity organization committed to creating an inclusive, supportive environment for youth, staff, volunteers, and interns.

The Good Fight Community Center | La Crosse, WI
Volunteer Position | Youth Ages 8–18 | Flexible Commitment

At The Good Fight Community Center, we believe that one caring, consistent adult can make a tremendous difference in a young person's life.

We're looking for positive, dependable volunteers who want to spend time with young people, build genuine relationships, have fun, and help create a safe and supportive environment where kids can learn, grow, and be themselves.

As a Youth Mentor Volunteer, you'll become part of a team serving approximately 20–30 young people ages 8–18 during our programming. You don't need to be a teacher, coach, or youth-development expert. You simply need to be someone who enjoys working with young people, is willing to get involved, and wants to make a difference.

Our volunteers are active participants in the Good Fight community—not just observers.

You'll:

Supervise and interact with youth ages 8–18

Proactively engage young people in conversation, games, activities, and other programming

Build positive, respectful relationships with youth

Participate in activities alongside the kids rather than simply watching from the sidelines

Encourage youth to participate, try new things, and interact with others

Help redirect behavior and reinforce appropriate boundaries when needed

Be a positive role model and a consistent, supportive adult presence

Help create a welcoming environment where every young person feels valued

Assist staff with activities, transitions, meals, and general programming

Share your interests, skills, hobbies, and personality with the kids

Participate in occasional special events and activities as your schedule allows

Working with young people can be incredibly rewarding—and occasionally unpredictable!

We're looking for volunteers who are patient, flexible, resilient, and able to meet kids where they are. Not every young person will immediately want to talk with you, join an activity, or accept your invitation to participate. That's okay!

The best mentors understand that relationships take time. You should be comfortable giving young people space when they need it, trying again later, adapting your approach, and not taking a child's initial hesitation or occasional attitude personally.

Most importantly, we're looking for people who can remain positive, calm, encouraging, and consistent, even when things don't go exactly as planned.

You don't need specialized experience to volunteer with us, but you should be:

Dependable and responsible

Comfortable interacting with youth ages 8–18

Patient, positive, and encouraging

Comfortable initiating conversations and activities with young people

Willing to proactively engage rather than waiting for kids to approach you

Comfortable setting and reinforcing appropriate boundaries

Able to accept that building trust and relationships takes time

Flexible and adaptable in a busy youth-programming environment

Respectful of young people's different personalities, backgrounds, interests, and needs

Willing to work as part of a team and follow staff direction

Interested in being a consistent and positive presence in the lives of young people

You won't be thrown into the deep end.

The Good Fight provides orientation, training, and ongoing supervision and support to our volunteers. Staff will be available to answer questions, provide guidance, and help you feel comfortable and confident in your role.

The greatest current need for volunteers is Wednesday through Friday.

We can discuss available shifts and find a schedule that works with your availability and our programming needs. Consistency is especially valuable because young people benefit most from seeing familiar, dependable adults regularly.

Meals are provided for volunteers during their on-site volunteer hours.

Because you'll be working directly with children and teenagers, all Good Fight volunteers are required to complete a standard Wisconsin DOJ Caregiver Background Check before beginning their volunteer service.

You don't have to change the world to make a difference in a kid's life.

Sometimes it's playing a game.
Sometimes it's listening to a story.
Sometimes it's joining a kid at the table for lunch.
Sometimes it's encouraging them to try something new.
And sometimes it's simply showing up—again and again—so they know someone cares.

Your time, attention, and consistency can become something a young person remembers for years.

If you enjoy working with kids, want to be part of a positive community, and are ready to roll up your sleeves and get involved, we'd love to have you join The Good Fight.

Come spend some time with us. Have some fun. Build some relationships. And help a kid know that their community believes in them.

Since 2018, under the leadership of Kristen Nyholm, volunteers have knitted and stitched 5" x 5" squares into blankets made with care by members of the Viterbo community. These blankets are now donated to Mayo Hospital for patients and children through the Child Life Program.

No sewing or knitting experience is needed. Kristen and returning participants will guide newcomers.

Please review the information on the main Initiative page for details about our day and important reminders!

Sundays 1pm - Protestant Services

Wednesdays 2:45pm - Catholic Mass

*all regular volunteer assignments require background check, TB test and orientation

Reading is the foundation of all learning.  You can help third-graders in Black River Falls' Red Creek Elementary School master this key skill, as a Read to Success tutor with The Great Rivers United Way!

Studies show if a child is not up to grade level reading by the end of third grade, they almost never catch up. 

Read to Success runs throughout the majority of a school year, generally October - May. Over the course of the 2026-2027 school year, you will work with two or three students, spending 30-45 minutes with them each week during the school day.  

You'll read to your student using a book we've selected that relates to a specific subject and have them read to you as well as participate in fun reading-based activities! To help you and your student feel comfortable and connected,  Great Rivers United Way provides a tutoring bin with literacy related conversation starter materials to help you focus your time together on reading skills.  Materials include question cards such as "what do you think will happen next?"  "Why do you think the character made that choice?"  

In addition to helping your student improve their reading skills, your positive influence can have benefits that will last a lifetime.  The kids need the extra help and their teachers appreciate the extra support you can provide!

Schools require all volunteers have an approved background check on file to work with students.  The Great Rivers United Way Community Engagement Coordinator will contact you to explain more about the program and initiate the required background check.  

So sign up today and help a child learn to love reading in your community!
