who are we?
We are the Waunakee Community Problem Solving (CmPS) Team. CmPS is a component of the Future Problem Solving Program International. Our coach is Mrs. Barlow, the Pathways Coordinator for Waunakee Schools. The purpose of CmPS is to identify and solve an area of concern in our school and community.
After much thought, we felt like an area that needed attention was the involvement of our student body in volunteer activities. Although many of us want to volunteer, or need the hours for something, we often never get it organized. Our goal is to connect students with volunteer opportunities.
This is Volunteer Connect. We'’ll have a different theme every month to help give you volunteer ideas, and we'’ll plan trips to different organizations.
