The Door County YMCA and the Door County Community Foundation are co-sponsoring a Not-For-Profit Employment and Volunteer Fair on Saturday, March 1st from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the YMCA in Sturgeon Bay. 

 

Door County's non-profit sector is an enormous part of our community's economy. Collectively, these organizations have total revenue of more than $105 million a year and employ an incredible number of full and part-time people in Door County. 

 

There is no cost to either the job applicants, potential volunteers, or charities who attend the Not-for-Profit Employment and Volunteer Fair on March 1st. In addition, the Door County Job Center will be offering a Resume Writing Workshop at 11 a.m. and an Interview Skills Workshop at noon for those who are interested.

 

If you're a charity and you'd like to set up a table to talk with potential job applicants and/or volunteers, download the information sheet and register with Samantha Brungraber at the YMCA by calling (920) 743-4949.  

 

Of course, if you can't attend, you can still search for jobs online at the Door County Job Center and seek out volunteer opportunities at the Volunteer Center of Door County.

  

The Door County Community Foundation's 2014 scholarship programs are now accepting applications. Learn more by visiting the Community Foundation's website or the guidance offices of the appropriate local high schools.

Many of the Community Foundation's scholarships are administered in partnership with Door County schools and decisions as to the recipients are made there by school professionals. 

However, there are a handful of scholarships for students who graduate from Sturgeon Bay, Southern Door, Gibraltar, Sevastopol or Washington Island in which the selection process is independent of local schools. 

Visit the Community Foundation's website to learn more about these scholarships and to apply. All applications must be received in the Community Foundation's offices by Thursday, March 20th at 4:30 p.m.

And if you're interested in establishing a scholarship today, or as a part of your estate plans, contact Bret Bicoy at (920) 746-1786.
