We welcome young volunteers. Valley Outreach currently works with youth groups, summer camps and scout troops. Please review the guidelines below and call 651-430-2739 or email volunteer@valleyoutreachmn.org to discuss youth volunteer opportunities.
Because much of our volunteer work is completed in a warehouse environment, the safety of youth volunteers is paramount. Please adhere to the following age requirements for youth volunteering.
Age Guidelines for Volunteering
The same general age guidelines listed above apply for young volunteers in a group. Groups with people ages 8-15 may not exceed 10 per group. A final determination will be made by the volunteer manager and program staff manager to ensure the safety of the young volunteers.
Youth to Adult Ratio
Youth ages 14 to 17 who want to volunteer must follow the volunteer application process. To make sure youth volunteer expectations are clear, parents or guardians are required to attend volunteer orientation with their child or schedule a brief call with the volunteer manager.
