Celebrating Impact

The room was buzzing as Give Big Green Bay unveiled this year’s participating organizations—and we were thrilled to celebrate several of our Together Green Bay collaborators among them: Safe Families, Achieve Brown County, Freedom House, Friends of PALs Youth and Families, GR!T 920, HER Alliance, NeighborWorks Green Bay, and Rooted In. These incredible partners are strengthening families, empowering youth, expanding housing stability, and building a more flourishing community across Greater Green Bay. Mark your calendar and join the celebration: all donations made from February 25 at noon to February 26 at noon will be matched by the Green Bay Packers and other generous partners!

Sawa Sawa Collective is seeking volunteers to serve as allies for refugee families, tutors for children, and drivers to help families access tutoring and community programs. Volunteers play a vital role in removing barriers and building belonging—sometimes simply by offering a ride, helping with homework, or being a consistent, caring presence. No special expertise is required—just compassion, reliability, and a willingness to walk alongside others. There’s a place for you at the table. Learn more and get involved at sscollective.me.

One of the best-kept treasures serving youth in Brown County is Young Life Green Bay. Young Life is all about building authentic relationships, creating safe places, and walking alongside teens as they explore the life God designed for them. The heart of Young Life is its volunteers—people willing to show up, hang out, listen, and care.
We are currently seeking individuals who are relationship-driven and open to learning. No special skills are required—just a willingness to be present and invest in teens’ lives. To learn more about becoming a Young Life volunteer, contact Alyssa Myrie at younglifementoring@gmail.com.
Not sure if direct mentoring is your thing? There’s still a place for you! Consider serving on the Young Life Committee, which supports staff and volunteers through planning, fundraising, prayer, and encouragement. For more information about joining the committee, contact Jorge Gonzalez at jorge.younglifegreenbay@gmail.com.
Together, we can help create spaces where young people are known, valued, and invited into something bigger than themselves.

In 2026, pursue joy and savor life’s possibilities—because you can’t catch what you don’t chase. Step out of the cycle of endless planning and uncertainty and into the curiosity, delight, and possibility waiting for you every day. Join us for an inspiring evening with Bob Goff as he invites you to rest in God’s love and journey wide-eyed into a life rich with meaning, a faith alive with engagement, and a future shaped with intention. Bob is an author, speaker, coach, and dreamer—a self-proclaimed recovering lawyer, honorary consul to Uganda, chief balloon-inflator, and New York Times best-selling author of Undistracted. Come ready to be encouraged, challenged, and reminded that a joy-filled life is worth chasing.
Join us Thursday, February 5 from 6:00–7:30 p.m. at Green Bay Community Church in the Training Center. 600 Cardinal Lane, Green Bay, WI 54313.

The N.E.W. All-Stars are heading into our 5th season, and we’re looking for adult volunteers to help make it our best one yet! This non-competitive baseball league serves adults ages 19+ with intellectual and physical disabilities—and our biggest need is player partners who can come alongside athletes, build friendships, and share in the joy of the game. And yes… it is SO fun. Expect high-fives, laughter, big smiles, and moments that will absolutely make your week. No baseball experience needed—just a willingness to show up, encourage, and have a great time. Games are played Monday evenings at Resch Miracle Field.

Come be part of a community where everyone wins—on and off the field.
Loving Our City Together

Maxwell Leadership reminds us that “Success doesn’t come from what you do occasionally; it comes from what you do consistently.” Research reveals a striking parallel between physical fitness and leadership development: just as our muscles begin to atrophy within two weeks of inactivity, our leadership capacity stagnates without intentional cultivation. Our bodies don’t naturally stay in shape with sporadic attention—they require scheduled, consistent workouts. Leadership works the same way. Growth doesn’t happen by accident or through occasional inspiration; it demands deliberate rhythms and intentional practices woven into our daily lives.
So here’s the critical question: How are you intentionally growing your leadership this year? This month? This week? At this month’s Love Your City Network breakfast, we’ll explore practical principles and actionable steps to build consistent leadership development into your routine.
Together, we’ll discover how small, strategic choices create compounding growth over time. Don’t leave your leadership development to chance—join us and learn how to make growth a way of life.
When: Thursday, February 19 from 7:30am-9am
Where: Fire & Fir Event Hall
