Volunteer

Volunteers are at the heart of PeaceMaker Minnesota! From stuffing envelopes to promoting our work on social media to fundraising, we could not do our work without the generous gifts of time, talent, and resources we get each and every day from volunteers.

 

Here’s How You Can Help

Current Volunteer Needs:
