Join Revitalize Milwaukee

If you are interested in sharing your time, talent, and passion to help improve the living conditions of low-income homeowners in our community, volunteer with us! As many of our volunteers can attest, volunteering with us benefits you as much as it does our clients. You will connect with other community members, have fun, and even gain some new skills along the way.

We’ll contact you once we receive your application to determine the best way for you to get involved. Thank you in advance for making our work possible.

Check out this flyer to see other ways to get involved.

Occupational Therapist

Occupational Therapists are instrumental to the success and sustainability of our repairs. We recognize the difference a perfectly placed grab bar can make in a home, and your help makes a big impact in the quality of our repairs and rehabs.

Whether you are a student looking to gain experience in the field or a professional OT looking to give back, we will give you everything you need to grow your existing skill set. For more information, please Contact Us.

Skilled Volunteer

Our biggest need is skilled volunteers. If you have any previous experience with carpentry, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, or any other technical work, we would love to work with you. Sharing your skills to help a neighbor that would otherwise not be able to afford them is a great way to help your community and have fun doing it.

Our team will set you up with a project suited to your skill set and schedule, and provide you with the necessary materials. We do our best to ensure you have the most rewarding and impactful experience possible.

Once you complete the interest form, someone from our team will get in touch with you to figure out the best way for you to get involved.

Corporate Crew Days

These project days are the perfect team building tool, and we guarantee everyone will leave feeling a tremendous sense of pride and accomplishment after a day of laughter and sweating. These projects also develop leadership and project management skills.

To start, designate a crew leader to be the main point of contact. Ideally this crew leader is someone who can assist us in recruiting additional volunteers from your organization and coordinate project details. For more information, please Contact Us.

Adopt a Neighbor

Dedicate a few hours helping those that need it most!

With age, reduced physical mobility, and limited funds, many homeowners find it hard to keep up with simple household chores. That's where you come in! Raking leaves is a challenge to many of our homeowners.
