The ultimate goal of a sexual assault advocate is to provide support and foster an environment of independence, helping victim survivors gain confidence in their choices. The advocate is a facilitator, sharing knowledge, giving choices, and acting as a guide.

Our trainings are structured in compliance with Minnesota State Statute §595.02, with more than 40 hours of training over the course of several weeks to build your competency in sexual assault advocacy. We will help you prepare to provide direct services to victim/survivors of sexual violence, including answering our crisis line and supporting victim/survivors. We offer additional training options for volunteer advocates interested in one-to-one peer counseling, facilitating support groups, teaching about sexual violence in schools, and legal advocacies.

CES Meals on Wheels is looking for volunteer drivers to deliver meals over their lunch hour to seniors and individuals with disabilities in their community. If you are looking for a way to become more connected to your community and have meaningful interactions with the people in it, please sign up to become a meal delivery volunteer!

Qualifications: Volunteer one hour over your lunch time during the weekdays on a schedule that works for you. You must have your own transportation and license.

Where: Volunteers drive to the program site, pick up 8-10 meals stored in easy-to-carry thermal packs, and deliver them to residences using a route designed by the program. CES serves Meals on Wheels to the areas of North, Downtown, and near South Minneapolis. Delivery coordinators will provide all the necessary resources to limit the spread of disease during your route and keep both you and meal recipients safe.

**Delivering meals can fit into a work lunch break. It is also a great family-friendly volunteer opportunity so plan to bring your kids or grandkids!

We strive to create a board that adequately reflects these identities and experiences.

In 2025, we are focused on adding candidates to our board who bring -- among other talents -- experience with law, finance and/or accounting, public relations and/or marketing.

Board applications are accepted on an annual basis, and focus areas change from year to year.

All candidates must have:

● Expertise gained through living in the community, or in a relevant and needed area such as adult education/ESL, engagement/marketing, fundraising, governance, government, healthcare management, housing, human resources, legal expertise, leadership experience, and non-profit finance

● Consistent time (2-4 hrs./month) to dedicate to participating in monthly board and committee work. The board typically meets on the last Monday of the month at 6PM and alternates between one in person meeting and one virtual meeting each trimester.

Calling all woodworkers, knitters, crocheters, sewers, cooks and bakers. FamilyMeans is looking for people like you to help mentor our youth in these skills for the Washington County Fair. From now until the county fair FamilyMeans youth will be working on projects in these areas. We are looking for volunteers who are skilled in these fields to help mentor the youth to make sure they learn and have successful projects. Youth come to FamilyMeans after school so this volunteer experience would be in the afternoon. We are flexible on which weekdays and can work with you on a schedule.

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.

Location: The Salvation Army Parkview Worship and Service Center

General Description

Help us showcase what Minnesota natives have to offer while supporting healthy habitats in Lebanon Hills Regional Park. Habitat Stewards focus on maintaining designated areas that have been planted with native grasses and wildflowers in highly visible areas of our parks. These locations provide pollinator habitat as well as serve as demonstration gardens for park visitors that will hopefully inspire folks to “go native” in their own backyards.

Tasks will vary for each shift but will include general garden maintenance such as weeding, pruning, watering, planting, etc. No knowledge of plants or gardening is needed, in fact, volunteers will learn about plant identification, gardening skills, and habitat restoration practices related to native plants during their time in the gardens by seasoned professionals and county staff.

Great program for all ages and walks of life - many hands make lighter work. A tidy garden is an eye-catching way for people to learn more about pollinators and pollinating plants and the important roles they play in our lives. Help us keep this area bloomin’ and boomin’!

Their role is to listen and offer hope and companionship during the emotional roller coaster of a cancer diagnosis.

Lung cancer places a great burden on families, and some lung cancer patients lack the support they need to achieve the best outcomes during their journey. Lung cancer carries an unkind stigma that often leaves patients feeling shamed and blamed. A Breath of Hope works to reduce the burden of lung cancer by offering services to fill in the care gaps. Hope and positive energy are known to bring healing. Every time we support lung cancer patients and their families, we have made a step forward in our battle to save lives and improve quality of life during the journey.

Hands on volunteer opportunities- many of the equines at the AHH farm have come from neglect or abuse situations, they often have trust issues or are relatively unhandled at intake. Because of this, we are only able to offer these “hands-on” opportunities to volunteers who are willing and have time to learn about our horses. For safety reasons we are not able to allow volunteers to ride horses at the AHH farm.

Assist seniors and individuals by helping as a volunteer shopper with Help At Your Door!

In this role you will fill grocery orders for Help At Your Door clients. Orders are printed and ready for our shoppers on weekday mornings starting at about 6:00 a.m. Volunteer shoppers take the lists and walk through the stores, finding the items and filling the grocery carts. Volunteers help double-check each cart, assist with the check-out process, and help pack the groceries into totes to be ready for delivery. Shoppers do not pay for or deliver the groceries themselves.

Shopping shifts typically last 3 hours, and shoppers can sign up to help weekly or bi-weekly. Volunteers must have weekday early morning availability to assist with this role.  We shop at this location on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
