Help grow OPEF

The Oconomowoc Public Education Foundation (OPEF)  started less than five years ago and has already provided $400,000 of capital support for arts center enhancements and close to $200,000 to teachers for classroom innovations and curriculum expansion. To continue to grow and prosper as a strong education foundation, and to help our public schools be on the forefront of teaching and learning, it needs volunteers with many different interests and skills:

• Marketing: writing, graphic design, social media, press relations – for the creative types
• School and Community outreach – represent OPEF at school/community activities
• Database management and data entry work – strong organizational and clerical skills
• Special events, i.e. Haunted Ball, a new music event, a new fun sports event, others!
• Grant writing for funds – requires good research and writing skills
• Clerical/Office skills - Record keeping, bookkeeping or accounting
• General fundraising – OPEF’s strategic plan calls for many activities to raise funds better

It can structure your involvement  with different amounts of time commitment and in many different ways, including internship roles with job descriptions.  To express your interest or to learn more about OPEF’s needs, fill out the online Friend/Volunteer link on OPEF’s home page  or email  or  call 262/313-9911.
