Volunteer: One Person's Left Behind. Another Person's Fresh Start

Not everything left behind belongs in the trash.

We're looking for a volunteer who enjoys organizing, sorting, and uncovering hidden gems to help us go through items left behind in our housing programs when people move out.

You'll help decide what can be:

Recycled or discarded Donated to participants Shared with other nonprofits Given a second life

It's hands-on work that keeps usable items out of the landfill, stretches our resources, and helps more people get what they need.

We'll provide the gloves. You bring the passion for cleaning!

Volunteer: The most meaningful assembly line you'll ever join

Sometimes the best way to help someone is to make sure the right supplies are ready before they're needed.

We're looking for groups of 4–10 volunteers to help assemble kits filled with essentials like harm reduction supplies, wound care items, hygiene products, and more.

We'll provide the supplies. You bring the energy. Together, we'll make sure our outreach teams and others have what they need, when they need it.

Every kit you pack means our teams can spend less time gathering supplies and more time helping people when they need it most.

A fun, hands-on team volunteer opportunity
Big impact. Ready when it matters most.

Projects may include:

 Refreshing apartments with paint Moving furniture and supplies Assembling furniture Landscaping and outdoor cleanup Organizing storage spaces and moving supplies

Because everyone deserves a space that feels like home.

Volunteer: 2026 Stories Matter Fundraiser Fashion Show

Each year, Small Sums hosts the Stories Matter Fashion Show, an exciting evening that celebrates the workers who have experienced housing instability and are now on their path to stability! This event brings together fashion, storytelling, and community in a powerful way.

We are currently looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help make this night happen!

- Backstage Support (6:00 - 8:30 pm) 

This is where the magic happens! Support our models with outfit changes, ensure looks are runway-ready, assist with makeup, answer questions, and help solve those unexpected moments only backstage can bring! 

- Tear Down Crew (8:00 - 10:00) 

Help us end the night strong by packing up sponsor materials, folding up tables and chairs, and ensuring the space is left clean and cared for.  By volunteering, you're helping create a celebration that empowers individuals who have overcome extraordinary challenges. You'll be part of honoring their hard work and helping raise funds that will support others on a similar path. 

All volunteers will also receive a free ticket to the event!

The Food Rescue Driver & Helper volunteers partner together to enhance our organization’s ability to directly impact our mission to provide food for those who need it, when they need it. Be a part of sustainability by cruising around Stillwater in the Valley Outreach box truck collecting food donated by local grocery stores to get it into the hands of people who need it most.

Volunteer Requirements and Expectations:  

All Food Rescue Drivers must provide their driver’s license and insurance and pass a background check before driving the box truck. Be comfortable driving box truck (no additional licensure required – “it’s like driving a U-Haul!”). Have a familiarity with pallet jacks OR a willingness to learn to use them. Be punctual for your volunteer shift. Follow Valley Outreach Standard of Appearance guidelines. Respect for client confidentiality, consistent with treating clients with dignity and respect. A commitment to racial equity and social justice and willingness to learn and be curious.

Physical Demands:

Volunteer: Literacy Tutoring

Literacy volunteers work closely with children and families in Simpson’s housing programs to improve reading and academic skills through weekly tutoring specifically designed to meet the needs of each individual student, including improved academic performance, increased attendance, improved self-efficacy, and strong parental involvement in their child’s education.

The mission of Simpson’s Children and Youth Services programs is to break the generational cycle of homelessness by partnering with parents to support children’s academic success, stability, and well-being. Adults aged 21 and older are invited to become a tutor and make a positive and lasting impact in the life of a young person.

The Program

Simpson Housing Services has a high-quality, rigorous reading tutoring program for kindergarten through 6th grade students who are transitioning out of homelessness and participate in our Family Housing program. Seventy-five percent of children who are homeless are below grade level, and we know that if the learning gap does not diminish, the children will continue to struggle academically. The program’s goal is for each child to work up to grade-level reading and to foster a lifelong passion for learning.

Tutors are paired with a student for the school year and must commit to meeting with the student for one hour every week. Consistent and reliable support by tutors will provide consistency for the children. Simpson Housing Services staff will provide the curriculum, support, and coaching. An orientation to Simpson Housing Services and Tutor Training will take place in September. Topical trainings will also be offered throughout the year.

Timeframe

During the school year, tutoring will take place one night a week, Monday through Thursday between 4 pm and 6 pm. Tutors can choose the session that works best for their schedule.

Volunteer: Board Members Needed

We Need a VP, a Secretary, and Someone Who Loves Grants!

Got a soft spot for South Minneapolis and public education? We want to talk to you. The South High Foundation supports Minneapolis South High School — funding academics, arts, athletics, and scholarships for a school that's one of the most diverse in the state.

We're a small, scrappy nonprofit with real impact (over $3M in assets, decades of history, zero pretension), and we're growing our board.

Right now we're specifically looking to fill:

Vice President — partner with our board leadership and help steer strategy;

Secretary — keep us organized and on the record (minutes, communications, the glue stuff)

Grants Committee Chair — lead our grant strategy and help us land funding for programs like music, dance, ceramics, athletics, debate, and community support.

What we're looking for: People who care about kids getting a shot at a great education — that's really it. South Minneapolis roots are a plus, but you don't have to live here to belong here. Alumni, parents, neighbors, community members, grant nerds, spreadsheet people, big-idea people — all welcome.

What it's actually like: Board meetings that don't drag, a golf tournament every fall that's more fun than it sounds, and a group of people who genuinely like working together (not just saying that). Time commitment is reasonable, the mission is real, and we'd love to have you.

Want to know more? Check us out at www.southhighfoundation.org.

Newport Library is a volunteer run library in the small river City of Newport, MN. This quaint community just southeast of St. Paul is one of the oldest communities in the Twin Cities Metro. The city boasts a 132-year-old Library. We invite you to become a part of this beautiful legacy of literacy and community support by becoming a Volunteer in our beautiful little library. 

Library Volunteers assist patrons with item check-out, computer use, scanning, printing, laminating, and most importantly being a resource. Volunteers are the heart of this lovely space. No prior library experience is necessary. Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older and willing to work alone. The primary job of the Volunteer is to be a friendly face.  Because we work with children and vulnerable adults, Volunteers must pass a background check including fingerprinting. The reward of serving this beautiful community is worth the process.
