Volunteer Opportunities 

In order to make AIDS Walk Wisconsin a fun and successful event, we need your help! The event requires a minimum of 150 volunteers on the day of the event, and even more during the summer months leading up to AIDS Walk Wisconsin. Just a few hours of time can make a huge difference in the fight against AIDS in Wisconsin.
