Our Programs

Badger Volunteers

Teams of UW students sign up to volunteer at participating community organizations on a weekly basis for an entire semester.

WE Badger Volunteers

 

Similar in structure to Badger Volunteers, WE Badger Volunteers features volunteer opportunities focused on sustainability.

Volunteeryourtime.org

VolunteerYourTime.org is an on-line database that features hundreds of local non-profit agencies and over 800 current volunteer opportunities in Dane County.

Wisconsin Idea Fellowships

Projects are designed and implemented by an undergraduate student in collaboration with a community group and a faculty to meet a community need. Stipends and credit are provided.

Morgridge Center Awards

Our award program recognizes students and community organizations and their efforts to advance the Wisconsin Idea and address issues in our community.

Service-Learning & Community-based Research

UW offers over 50 service-learning courses every year. These credit-bearing courses engage students in service activities at non-profit agencies while gaining further understanding of course content.

Wisconsin Idea Exchange

This on-line database is designed to help community groups and UW-Madison faculty and staff connect and create collaborative service-learning and community based research projects.

Volunteer Transportation Program

This program provides free taxis rides for students who volunteer through the Morgridge Center at non-profits that are off a busline or beyond a transfer point.

UW-Madison Retirement Association (UWRA)

The Morgridge Center is working with the UWRA Volunteering Committee to create resources for retired Wisconsin University system employees.  This is an ongoing process.
