When you volunteer with the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) you are not only supporting The Energy Fair but also helping to promote renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable living. The MREA has opportunities at annual events and year-round support roles as a volunteer.
Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities
Street Team
May-June
Street Team volunteers help get the word out about The Annual Energy Fair. When promotional materials are ready for distribution, volunteers hit the streets and put up posters in their neighborhoods. If you are interested in joining Street Team to help promote The 32nd Annual Energy Fair, join our volunteer email newsletter to stay in the loop.

Get a jump start!
Consider filling out your volunteer waiver ahead of time to save a step later. All volunteers must have a completed volunteer waiver on record before any events. Waivers can also be filled out on paper at volunteer events.
If a volunteer is under the age of 18, they will need a parent or guardian to complete the Volunteer Waiver by paper. A completed form can be brought to a volunteer shift, scanned and emailed to volunteer@midwestrenew.org, or mailed to the MREA – 7558 Deer Road, Custer, WI 54423.
