FAQs
What’s involved?
The Foundation needs volunteers to help sell concession food at Brewers games during the 2025 season that will help raise money for our school and for the Foundation’s native French-speaking intern program. The volunteering includes serving concession food like custard, cheese curds or nachos to game-goers.Volunteers make up teams of 4 people – parents, grandparents, and teachers from the school – at each game. A volunteer game leader will be at each game to make sure you are comfortable and confident in volunteering..
What is the time commitment?
The time commitment is usually 6 hours per game. Online pre-training is also required which takes about 90-minutes.
Is experience required?
No, previous experience is not required. Customer service tasks at the Brewers games are simple, and you are supported by your team and game leader. Only a 90-minute online training is necessary, and our Brewers fundraising coordinator can assist you with this.
How does this volunteering/fundraising make a difference for MFIS?
Last year, 25 volunteers helped fill 58 volunteer spots in the Brewers concession fundraising program that helped the Foundation raise $6,400! 80 percent of this funding goes back to MFIS through the native French-speaking intern program, financial support to the 5th class trip, teacher grants and DELF testing student breakfasts. The remaining 20 percent is invested in French students and teachers at the Milwaukee School of Languages (MSL).
What are the benefits of volunteering?
Because volunteers are parents, grandparents, and teachers from the MFIS community, this is a great opportunity to get to know MFIS families/teachers and build community. Volunteers are also given a voucher for a free meal at the American Family Field.
Merci beaucoup for considering!
Host a MFIS or MSL French-Speaking Intern 2025-2026!
The Milwaukee French Immersion Foundation was founded by a small group of parents of students attending the Milwaukee French Immersion School and the Milwaukee School of Languages who recognized the gem we have in the city of Milwaukee of a public, urban, diverse school that outperforms schools in both the district and the state.

About the Milwaukee French Immersion Foundation
Many of us parents fell in love with the French immersion program as soon as we walked through the doors. Seeing four year olds speaking with their teachers in French is something special. First impressions are one thing, but as parents we look deeper. How exciting it was to discover that in addition to French Immersion students becoming fluent in French, French Immersion students also excel in all other subject matter, consistently outperforming their counterparts in the State.
We parents recognize that the French Immersion program in Milwaukee is something special. Others have noticed as well. For example, after visiting the Milwaukee French Immersion School, the Minneapolis Public School system introduced a public, urban French immersion program based in part on the success of Milwaukee French Immersion School.
Unfortunately, we parents also recognize that we can’t sit back and rely on public funding to fund every aspect of this amazing program. As such, we founded the Milwaukee French Immersion Foundation. The Foundation exists to ensure that the French Immersion program in Milwaukee Public Schools receives the support it needs for these children to thrive and to excel. Graduates of this program are amazing examples of what can be accomplished in an urban public school when teachers, parents and students collaborate to insist on excellence.
