Volunteers
Volunteer at World Dairy Expo!
Each fall, World Dairy Expo is held in Madison, Wisconsin at the Alliant Energy Center. To make WDE possible, Expo recruits the help of up to 500 volunteers, helping in areas from the Purple Cow Gift Shop to the Dairy Cattle Show.
Are you interested in volunteering during World Dairy Expo? Please complete our Volunteer Interest Form (found here) and a WDE staff employee will be in touch if a volunteer opportunity arises for you.
Friends Of Expo
Each year, World Dairy Expo hosts a celebration honoring all the Friends Of Expo (FOE) who go above and beyond to ensure the event is a success, from those who are hired to help staff the event to those who volunteer their time and efforts. At this annual event, World Dairy Expo honors a few select individuals who consistently go above and beyond to help Expo.
