Volunteer
Share your time and talent to make a difference in our community
Volunteering at Wilder is rewarding, impactful and flexible
Join us in-person or remotely for a one-time, short-term, or regular basis. From our list of ongoing needs, you have the opportunity with children, older adults, and families who are participating in services and programs, lend a hand at our community and fundraising events, or work on projects directly with Wilder staff. Help create a lasting, positive change for the families and communities we serve in Saint Paul and beyond.
Week of the Young Child
We are excited to celebrate Week of the Young Child from April 7-11. This week is an opportunity to spread the word about the importance of high-quality early learning and the critical role early childhood educators play in a child’s development. Join us as a volunteer!
Ordinary Magic
Will you join our special event celebrating the families that Wilder supports? There are multiple volunteer roles throughout our annual fundraiser including set up, coat check, silent auction, and clean up. A family-style meal, livestream of the program, and time for connection is provided.
“For me, the coolest part is building relationships and getting to know people and just hearing about their lives.”
