Volunteer opportunities

VOLUNTEER WITH JUSTDANE:

At JustDane, volunteering isn’t just about giving your time – it’s about being part of a community that believes in second chances and shared humanity. When you volunteer with us, you help create pathways of hope for individuals and families in Dane County who are working to rebuild their lives.

Whether you’re preparing meals for families at Healing House, supporting someone during their reentry journey, or mentoring a youth with a caregiver incarcerated, your involvement makes a lasting impact. You’ll meet incredible people, gain new perspectives, and see firsthand how compassion can change lives – including your own!

Our volunteers come from every corner of the community, united by the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive. Join us, and be part of something powerful: a network of people showing that change is possible when we show up for one another.

For more general information about our volunteer opportunities or questions, please contact out Volunteer and Community Engagement Manager, Dani Crutcher at dani@justdane.org or call us at 608-256-0906.
