For us, it’s all about the people. We celebrate each individual we serve, knowing they have their own combination of challenges and definition of success. We offer a wide variety of programs and services to help people navigate challenges, secure resources and get support to live life on their own terms. We meet people where they are and guide them to where they want to be, using a proven framework to help people achieve their goals. From serving families with children who need support to helping those in our community that are aging, our programs lead the way in person-centered thinking
We’re always in need of volunteers to fill a variety of positions. Our Volunteer Coordinator will work with you to find the right fit for what you are looking to accomplish. If it be a business team, department, or individual volunteering, we have many fulfilling opportunities to help you make an impact in the community!
Description: A man living in one of our Adult Foster Care homes (mental health program) in Minnetonka is looking for a volunteer to go to Lodestone Coffee in Hopkins MN to play board games and spend time together.
Responsibilities: You will pick him up from his home and take him to Lodestone Coffee, play a board game and then take him home again when the two of you are done.
Qualifications: You need to be at least 18 years-old, pass background and driving record checks.
Training: Our Volunteer Coordinator will work with you to set up your background/driving record checks at our offices in NE Mpls. They will then train you for the position. Training and checks usually take 1.5 hours.
Benefits to Volunteer:
- Volunteer in a fulfilling opportunity to help make an impact in the community
- Receive training in the application of the person-centered model of serving people with disabilities
- Learn new skills and make new connections in the community
- Volunteering your experience helps build your experience
Commitment and Location: This commitment takes place near Hwy 7 and 494 in Minnetonka and then at Lodestone Coffee in Hopkins MN. The initial commitment is 1 - 3 times; but our hope is that, if you both enjoy the time together, that may increase. You would work with our Volunteer Coordinator to find a schedule that works for you and the person we serve.

Mission Statement
As listeners, learners and leaders, we will stand with and support people with disabilities in their communities as they pursue their personal dreams and goals.
Description
We're here to help people cope with the issues surrounding social injustice, low income, aging, and homelessness -- and, in doing so, to help them live their greatest lives.
Since 1971, we've been meeting people where they are and bringing them what they need to live as independently, creatively, and fully as possible. We offer a variety of services and supports, which have all been developed as a result of listening to and understanding the needs of the people we serve, their loved ones and their communities.
