O.N.E. Our Network for Education Volunteer Program

O.N.E. (Our Network for Education) is the Wausau School District's Volunteer Program and supports the Key Interest: Foster mutually beneficial partnerships and collaborations that expand learning opportunities and resources. Each school’s volunteer program reflects the unique needs of their students and the district-wide program provides an umbrella of support and assistance to each school.

We are so grateful for the contributions of our volunteers to enhance and enrich our programming for students in the Wausau School District. Thank you for choosing to contribute your time.

Volunteers must have an approved background check and create a profle in My Impact, a volunteer platform that is used by all schools in the district. All district volunteer roles and activities are posted in My Impact for qualified volunteers to view and sign up for.
