volunteer
We welcome volunteers with open arms at Dakota Woodlands (DW). We need a community of talents, skills and hearts to help those less fortunate, bringing a light of hope to those experiencing uncertainty. Together we can build a bridge for those that are transitioning from a life of disparity to a stable life of promise. Homelessness is more than just not having a place to call home. If you would like to help, there are many volunteer opportunities at DW. Start by clicking on the volunteer application below or send your inquiry to volunteer@dakotawoodlands.org. We would love for you to join our team. Working together as a community will strengthen our mission to end homelessness in Dakota County!
