Our community has become known for its strong sense of togetherness and community spirit. This spirit is particularly marked by the activities of highly-visible and well-known volunteer organizations, event coordinators, community associations, church groups and others unknown, but equally as important and vital.

There are always opportunities to be involved in the local community in a volunteer capacity. Here are some of the local organizations to consider:

Each spring, Lake Country and surrounding communities celebrate National Volunteer Week, celebrating the efforts of our unsung heroes and committed community members. There is also a drive to recruit, train, and involve new members of the community in the volunteer movement.
Volunteering is not just about putting forth effort, but it provides:
- a sense of achievement while helping others;
- a connectedness with others who share interests;
- a chance to discover new talents or ability;
- an opportunity to boost career options;
- occasions to relax and get energized by giving back to the community as a whole; or even discover a new purpose or passion for life.
