Did you know that every chapter can use volunteer help and you don't have to become a full fledged mentor to be one? Chapters often have group outings where help is needed chaperoning, demonstrating, cooking, and other. Contact a chapter in your area for details.
Would your community benefit from having a KAMO chapter? KAMO has an offer to provide technical, material, and financial support to newly formed chapters. If you contact Mike - brownmtjc@gmail.com, he can get you some information about that. I literally just got a phone call from Eau Claire as I was writing this from someone asking about a chapter there (there isn't one there). There is a growing recognition that time spent outdoors is very beneficial to physical and mental health and our children are not getting out there.
Another way to help a KAMO chapter is by donating gently used items such as hoodies, boots, jackets, coats, camoflage or orange clothing, fishing poles and tackle, or anything you or your loved ones no longer have a use for and our kids need. I have learned not to wonder where all this donation stuff is going to go - it is amazing how quickly the pile goes down.
If you have something the KAMO group can use as a raffle or silent auction item, that is yet another way the public can help us.
Simply go into the Wisconsin Chapters page to find a contact for the chapter nearest you.
