Volunteer Opportunities

Individual/Small Group:

Way to Grow’s Play, Learn & Grow classes provide a great opportunity to help children discover the fun of learning.  These classes are held at three locations across Minneapolis each week.  Volunteers are needed for the following activities:

  • Reading to children

  • Creating arts and crafts together

 

Way to Grow's Project Dream Tracks connect teen parents and their extended family members to break the cycle of teen parents having children who in turn become teen parents.  Through these monthly workshops the teens and their family members set goals for themselves and work to ensure the success of not only the teen, but the child as well.  Volunteers for these workshops are needed for the following activities:

  • Talking about your career and your path to success
  • Giving a finance and budgeting seminar
  • Entertaining the children at the event with your hidden talents

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much"

- Helen Keller

Large Group:

All too often a parent can’t focus on their child’s learning until they have met their family’s basic needs.  Books and other learning materials for their children then become a luxury.  Volunteer groups are needed to organize the following drives:

  • A book a day keeps illiteracy away!  A drive for books from the Minneapolis Public Library’s recommended reading list.

  • Welcome to our world!  A drive for baby and infant health items to be placed in Welcome Baby Bags for new mothers.

  • Color our world!  A drive for school supplies like crayons and coloring books to be used on home visits and in Play, Learn & Grow classes.
