It is up to each student to find a field placement site. There are many volunteer opportunities available in the Milwaukee area and our fully online students can find a site in their local area. Volunteer Match and the United Way of Greater Milwaukee are umbrella organizations that match volunteers with many different opportunities.

Below are a number of organizations serving various populations in the Milwaukee area. We cannot guarantee that these agencies will have appropriate opportunities at the time you wish to volunteer, but this list should give you a number of options to investigate.

Abuse and Domestic Violence

Adult Learning

Children & Families
