Support the Minneapolis Public Schools

Find the volunteer opportunity that matches your interest.

Speaking Opportunities
Share your experiences with a small group of students, including:
  • What your job or college is really like, and what it took to get there.
  • How to be successful in the workplace.
  • How to network effectively and why it is important.
  • A topic of your choosing based on your experiences.
Participate in One Time Events
  • Worksite Visit: Welcome students to your workplace in order to explore career paths in a positive work environment.
  • STEP-UP Mock Interviews: Model your professionalism and give candid feedback while helping students gain interview skills.
  • Career Fair: Join other employers to offer a “fair” for students of all ability levels and interests to learn about career options.
Ongoing Opportunities
  • Assist students with creating resumes, completing college and financial aid applications, ACT/SAT prep and writing essays.
  • Answer student questions about the processes and resources needed to meet their personal goals.
  • Provide support to Career & College Center coordinators.

Form a Partnership

  • Individual schools are looking for lasting relationships with businesses and organizations.  Current business partners support their schools by:
  • Volunteering on a weekly or monthly basis to help students build a variety of academic skills.
  • Use a company-wide volunteer day to complete on-site projects, like cleaning up a playground or painting a school facility.
  • Organize a company wide fundraising effort to meet the needs of your individual school.
