Volunteer: Sewing Teachers & Teachers' Aides

Do you like to sew? Do you like talking about sewing and helping other people learn to sew? Do you want to do something concrete to support & build connection with African communities in the Twin Cities? Then you've gotta come hang out with us.


Under One Roof Fiber Arts provides free sewing classes to African immigrants in the Twin Cities. All of our classes are volunteer-run, and we are always looking for more people who want to share their sewing skills while hanging out with a bunch of cool women. 


Okay but what does that actually mean?

We're looking for both Teachers & Teacher's Aides. We need both people who are comfortable leading a class and people who'd rather assist and help answer student questions. Scheduling is as flexible as you need it to be. We've got ongoing classes as well as one-time classes, so you can help out every Weds morning or you can teach a class once a month. We appreciate whatever time you're willing to donate. We just want to make it easy for you to come in and share your knowledge. All of our students are African immigrants and most speak English as a second (or third or fourth) language. Some are new arrivals who are still learning the basics.  It's okay if you don't have a ton of experience working with ESL students, but you do need to be open to working with people who are different from you and maybe learning new & better ways to communicate across language barriers. Unless you're also an African immigrant, then it probably won't be anything new (and you can totally both be a volunteer and also take a class if there's something that's a new skill for you).Really we're just trying to have fun and sew together, so if you've gotten this far, just send a message and let's figure out a way for you to get involved.

Volunteer: Be BOLD! Be a mentor! (Age 21+)


Mentor a Young Person. Be the Steady Presence They Need.

Bolder Options mentors build meaningful, one-to-one relationships with diverse young people ages 10–14 by showing up consistently, listening, and offering encouragement. At a time when many youth are navigating stress, uncertainty, and big transitions, mentors provide something powerful: a reliable, positive adult presence.

You don’t need to have all the answers — just a willingness to care and grow alongside a young person.

What Mentoring Looks Like (Year One)

Our first-year mentoring program is relationship-based, with a strong foundation in physical wellness and goal setting.

As a mentor, you will:

Spend 2–4 hours per week with your mentee for one year

Engage in accessible physical activities together (walking, biking, gym time, sports, movement of all kinds)

Support your mentee in setting and working toward personal goals

Build trust through consistency, encouragement, and shared experiences

Activities are flexible and tailored to your mentee’s interests and abilities — you do not need to be an athlete or expert.

What Makes a Great Mentor

The most impactful mentors are:

Reliable and consistent

Good listeners who are curious and open-minded

Willing to try new things and meet youth where they are

Positive role models who believe in young people’s potential

Mentors come from all walks of life. What matters most is your commitment to showing up with care and respect.

A Long-Term Commitment to Youth

Bolder Options is committed to walking alongside young people beyond the first year. After completing the initial mentoring program, youth are invited into our alumni program, which offers:

Continued connection to caring adults

Group activities and leadership opportunities

Support with career exploration, post-secondary planning, and life skills

Our goal is to stay connected with youth through high school and into career and/or college pathways.

What You Can Expect From Us

Mentoring is free to you. Mentors are fully supported through:

A dedicated support staff member

Training and ongoing check-ins

Weekly activity ideas planned by staff

Free or low-cost tickets to local activities

YMCA membership for you and your mentee


Mentor Requirements

To ensure safe, consistent relationships, mentors must:

1) Be 21 years or older. 2) Have reliable access to a car. 3) Commit to meeting weekly for one year. 4) Complete an application, interview, background check, and orientation. Mentoring requires regular in-person connection. Long travel distances can make it difficult to sustain weekly meetings, so we prioritize mentors who live close to our service areas (within 20 min drive).

About Bolder Options

Bolder Options is a youth mentoring nonprofit focused on healthy youth development, blending physical activity, emotional wellness, goal setting, and community connection. We are proud to be an LGBTQ+ Ally Site and intentionally create inclusive environments where all youth and mentors belong.

Volunteer: Make a Difference: Assist Residents with Wheelchairs at Onsite Worship Services

Sunday Service Volunteers

At Lyngblomsten, Spiritual Care Services are a cherished time for residents to gather in the Chapel for reflection, prayer, and fellowship. For many, this weekly service provides comfort, connection, and a sense of peace that enriches their emotional and spiritual well-being. However, most of our residents require assistance getting to and from the Chapel and this is where volunteers play an essential role.

We are seeking compassionate volunteers to help transport residents safely and comfortably to the Chapel each Sunday morning from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Volunteers may assist by pushing wheelchairs, offering a steady arm for support, or simply providing friendly conversation along the way. This small act of service makes a tremendous difference—ensuring that every resident who wishes to attend has the opportunity to do so.

Volunteering in this way is more than just helping with transportation; it’s about building relationships and sharing moments of kindness. Many residents look forward to seeing familiar volunteer faces each week, and the sense of community that grows from these interactions is deeply meaningful. By giving just a little of your time on Sunday mornings, you can help bring joy, comfort, and connection to those who need it most.


We are looking for individuals who:

Approach interactions with kindness and understanding.Are committed to your scheduled shifts.


Time Commitment:

Regular weekly shifts available:Sundays: 10:00 AM - 11:30 AMOccasional opportunities to support special holiday services such as Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.

Reach out today for more information about Lyngblomsten's volunteer program! New volunteers will attend an orientation and complete a state-required background study with fingerprinting. There is no cost to you for this.

Volunteer: Cottage Grove Area In-Home Respite

FamilyMeans is looking for volunteers willing to provide in-home respite to families. In-home respite consists of going into caregivers’ homes weekly and providing nonmedical care to care receivers. This can consist of playing games, having conversations, doing other activities or just being there with the care receiver. Volunteers are asked to volunteer 3 hours a week. These times are flexible and can be done at whatever time works best for you and the family you are matched with. This can be done individually, as a family project, or as a small group.

 

Is this opportunity right for me…

Current FamilyMeans in-home respite differ greatly in their personalities and why they chose this option. Here are some of the reasons why volunteers chose this option and continue volunteering.  

o   They appreciated flexible hours. There is no set time so volunteers can volunteer at times that fit their schedule.

o   Some volunteers enjoy being one on one with people rather than being in a group setting.

o   Some volunteers really like the social aspect of this opportunity. Since we carefully match volunteers and clients based on personalities and interests, to them it feels like spending 3 hours with a friend.  

o   Some volunteers like the gratification that comes with this opportunity. Volunteers get to see how the work they do benefits the caregiver.

Do you love literature and poetry, meaningful conversation and connection? Become a Reader Leader and help bring Shared Reading experiences to your community.

Reader Leaders are trained volunteers who facilitate small group reading sessions where stories and poems are read aloud and explored together. These sessions create welcoming spaces where people connect through literature, reflection, and conversation — no prior preparation or reading required for participants.

What You’ll Do

Facilitate welcoming Shared Reading groups in community settings such as libraries, senior living communities, recovery programs, schools, and community centers

Read short stories and poems aloud during sessions

Encourage thoughtful, respectful discussion

Help create a supportive space where everyone can participate at their comfort level

Build connection and community through shared literary experiences

Training and Support Provided

You don’t need to be a teacher or literature expert to volunteer. Reader Leaders receive 24 hours of comprehensive training that includes:

Proven Shared Reading facilitation techniques

Guidance on selecting engaging and accessible texts

Strategies for supporting diverse participants

Ongoing mentorship, resources, and a supportive volunteer network

Who Should Volunteer

Reader Leaders are people who:

Enjoy reading and discussing literature

Are good listeners and value different perspectives

Care about community connection and arts access

Want to make a meaningful difference through volunteering

Volunteer Impact

Reader Leaders help expand access to the arts and create spaces where participants can experience connection, reflection, and enjoyment through literature. Many participants describe Shared Reading as a rare opportunity to feel heard, connected, and inspired.

If you’re passionate about literature and community, we invite you to join us as a Reader Leader.

Volunteer: Volunteer Opportunity: Wood Floor Refinishing – Historic Chapter House

Minnesota Valley Chapter, Izaak Walton League of America

About Us

This year, the Minnesota Valley Chapter of the Izaak Walton League turns 100 years old. For a century, volunteers have cared for land, water, youth, and community along the Minnesota River.

Our historic Chapter House—a 1930s home we’ve stewarded since 1962—has been at the heart of that work. Its floors have carried generations of footsteps: young conservation leaders, artists, volunteers, and neighbors.

As we celebrate our centennial, we’re hoping to give the Chapter a birthday present that will last: restoring the oak floors so this space can carry us into our next hundred years.

The Opportunity

We are seeking in-kind professional services to refinish the original oak wood floors throughout our Chapter House. These floors have decades of stories in them—and a lot of foot traffic. We’re ready to restore them properly so the beauty of the oak can shine again and support many more years of community use.

This is a meaningful way for a skilled flooring professional or craftsperson to give back by leaving a lasting mark on a historic, mission-driven space.

Scope of Work

Approximately 2,000 square feet total

Includes the office, board room, and Kouba Gallery

Sanding and refinishing original oak floors

Proper sealing for durability and high-traffic use

Work timing flexible and coordinated with Chapter schedule

Volunteer: Support Youth Leadership Behind the Scenes: Green Crew Scouting Advisor

Description:
The Green Crew is an award-winning, youth-led conservation and environmental leadership program based in Bloomington, MN. Our leadership team operates as Venture Crew 3111, and we are seeking Adult Advisors with a background in Scouting who are willing to support the backend operations of our Venture unit.

This role is ideal for former or current Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters, Venture Advisors, committee members, or Scouters who understand how youth-led units work—and who enjoy helping things run smoothly behind the scenes.

This is not a role about running meetings or directing youth leaders. It’s about providing structure, continuity, and operational support so youth can lead with confidence and focus on conservation and leadership.

Your Role:

Support the backend operations of Venture Crew 3111

Assist with logistics such as scheduling, permissions, advancement records, and compliance

Provide guidance on Scouting processes, policies, and best practices

Help maintain continuity as youth leadership rotates and grows

Serve as a trusted adult resource to the Green Crew leadership team and primary advisors

Why This Role Matters:

Strong youth leadership depends on solid adult support systems

Your Scouting experience helps ensure programs are safe, compliant, and sustainable

You’ll enable youth to focus on leadership, service, and conservation—not paperwork

This is a meaningful way to stay connected to Scouting values while supporting an innovative, youth-led conservation program

You’ll Be a Great Fit If…

You have experience in Scouting (BSA, Venture, Sea Scouts, or related roles)

You believe deeply in youth-led leadership models

You enjoy organization, continuity, and operational problem-solving

You’re comfortable supporting from the background rather than being front-and-center

Time Commitment:
Approximately 2–4 hours per month, with flexibility depending on the season and needs of the unit.

Location:
Bloomington, MN and surrounding communities. Some support can be provided remotely.

Volunteer: Guide the Leaders: Adult Advisor for Youth Environmental Leadership

Description:
The Green Crew is an award-winning, youth-led conservation and environmental leadership program based in Bloomington, MN. Our youth leaders don’t just participate in projects—they set direction, make decisions, and lead teams. We’re seeking Adult Leadership Advisors to join us once a month to support these youth as they grow into confident, thoughtful environmental leaders.

This role is about mentorship, perspective, and trust—not control. You won’t be running meetings or making decisions. Instead, you’ll serve as a sounding board, a steady presence, and a supportive guide as youth leaders navigate planning, collaboration, and leadership challenges.

Your Role:

Attend a monthly Green Crew youth leadership meeting

Provide consultation and mentorship to youth leaders as requested

Help youth think through decisions, priorities, and challenges

Share perspective from your own leadership or professional experience

Support a culture of accountability, inclusion, and youth agency

Why This Role Matters:

Youth leadership thrives when adults show up as allies, not directors

Your experience can help young leaders think more strategically and confidently

You’ll help cultivate the next generation of environmental and civic leaders

This is a meaningful, low-time-commitment way to invest in youth leadership and community impact

You’ll Be a Great Fit If…

You enjoy mentoring young people and listening more than directing

You have experience in leadership, education, environmental work, nonprofit service, or community organizing

You believe young people should have real authority and responsibility

You’re comfortable offering guidance while honoring youth-led decision-making

Time Commitment:
Approximately 1–2 hours per month. Meetings are scheduled in advance and may be held in person or virtually.

Location:
Bloomington, MN and surrounding communities (with some virtual participation possible).
