Volunteer Opportunities

Listed below are some volunteer service opportunities that are upcoming. This is a chance to do some worthwhile service and also earn service hours.

Help "Bravo Waukegan"
The Waukegan Public Schools are in desperate need of used musical instruments.    Most of their students’ families cannot afford to purchase or rent their own instruments in order for them to be enrolled in the school district’s music programs.  “Bravo Waukegan,” a volunteer organization, is attempting to find donated used instruments for the students.  If you have an unused musical instrument and would like to donate it to help a student enjoy the benefits of learning to play, please contact Patricia Sikorovsky at  847-295-5599.


Polar Plunge, March 6, 1pm at Sunrise Beach, Lake Bluff. The Law Enforcement torch Run Polar Plunge raises money to sponsor the  Illinois Special Olympics.  Participants need to raise at least $75 in donations from friends, family and fellow students, in exchange for jumping into icy waters in the middle of winter. May wear anything but a wet suit, shoes are recommended, costumes are encouraged.  Bring a towel to dry off. Participants are invited to the Post Plunge Party. You can register as a team with five or more members. Register on line at www.plungeillinois.com
