LAP’s
dedicated VOLUNTEERS enable L.A.P. to provide services to communities
with efficiency and precision. Volunteers are integral part of LAP’s
family though poster dissemination, fingerprinting children, computer
programming, speaking with families, providing legal advice, and
many other important duties. Here are some ways you can volunteer:
Volunteer
at a Community Child Fingerprinting Event
Whether you come on your own, with a friend or a group of co-workers,
your gift of time can make a difference in the life of a child and
their parents. Volunteers will become finger-print trained by law
enforcement personnel. Child finger-printing at community events
are opportunities to educate you own community about child abduction
prevention.
Search Assistant
(Greater Milwaukee Area only) In the event of an abduction, you
may assist in the search for a missing child by providing support
to LAP’s staff. Volunteers can help with emergency response
(OSSAT) procedures at the L.A.P. headquarters or the volunteer command
post, disseminate posters, answer telephones, fax information to
the media, participate with the search team, etc.
Sponsor a Child Fingerprinting Event in your
Community
$500 sponsors a Child fingerprinting Event, which allows children
with in the community to be fingerprinted for free as well as providing
parents and guardians with free child safety information. Sponsors
are individuals, service groups, neighborhood associations and corporations.
Poster Distribution
You can help reunite missing children with their families by displaying
L.A.P. missing child posters at local businesses in your community.
Remember to ask permission from the business owner before posting
any posters.

A Tax-Deductible Party
Tired of re-gifting? If you are planning to host a party (birth-day,
graduation, anniversary or other special occasion) for friends or
business associates, consider asking your guests to give a gift
in your name to the Operation L.A.P. Foundation. Their gifts are
tax-deductible and you won’t have to find a place for another
Chia Pet!
Volunteer at the L.A.P. Headquarters
If you live in the Greater Milwaukee Area and you’re available
during business hours, come volunteer at our office. Office volunteers
can assist on a long term or short term basis with mailings, photo
dissemination, computer entry, research, fundraising, newsletters,
proposal writing, web site updates, and many other activities.
Be Part of L.A.P.'s Vending Sticker Program
Do you own vending machines? If so, became part of LAP’s vending
sticker program. Dissemination of missing children’s on vending
machines assists in the location of children and can help vending
machine owners secure locations for their machines./ Sharing this
information with others helps increase public awareness of missing
and abducted children. Please contact the Fundraising department
for more information.
