Volunteer
WISE utilizes volunteers in many of its programs & benefits greatly from the involvement of college students. In the past, WISE has worked with volunteers from University of Minnesota, College of St. Catherine, and Macalester College for GGAL and Project Achieve. We look forward to having more this year.
