Volunteer MPS is a nonprofit organization within Minneapolis Public Schools that develops volunteer programming, supports current volunteers, and maintains partnerships between schools and other community organizations.

In learning environments across the city, and in classrooms from Pre-K to Adult Basic Education, Minneapolis Public Schools serve the needs of more than 34,000 students. With over 70 schools across the city, there are innumerable opportunities for community members to get involved and make a difference.

Volunteers play an important role in Minneapolis Public Schools. Every day local college students, family members, and individuals from the community bring fresh perspectives, enthusiasm, and patience into our schools while assisting teachers, staff, and students. They encourage students and inspire them to reach their potential. Additionally, these volunteers experience a sense of fulfillment and pride in helping to improve our schools for everyone in the community.

Volunteering is easy:

Volunteer opportunities are available to work with pre-kindergarten through adult learners.
Volunteer orientation is provided throughout the school year.
Flexible volunteer hours are available during the school day (K-12, adults) and in the evening (adults).
No teaching experience is required.
