Support a Person
There are several opportunities within our homes to meet and support a person at Dakota Communities. Just as your interests are broad, so are those of the people who live in our homes. After completing an inventory of your own personal interests, we will match you with someone whose interests are similar. These may include meeting someone in their home and working on a scrap-booking project or a puzzle, or picking someone up and taking them to a religious service or the local gym to work out. The possibilities are endless.
Support a Volunteer
Ongoing volunteer opportunities have been created for the people supported at Dakota Communities at nursing homes, hospitals, local garden centers, Meals-On-Wheels, the Minnesota Aids Project and the Uptown Art Fair. During these opportunities, the people we serve not only can give back to the local parks in the communities in which they live, but they are assured of a valued role in society, increasing self assurance, independence and quality of life.
Support a Project
Share your unique skills and event planning flair as a volunteer for exciting events like these:
Family Fun Day at Como Park - June 2012
40th Anniversary GALA Celebration - May 11, 2011
If you are handy with a hammer, or great at light office duties, there is an opportunity for you. We provide 24 hour maintenance support to the organization both on a preventative level as well as special projects. Our administrative office always welcomes assistance with large mailing, copying or shredding projects.
