About this listen
When we think about what makes a strong community, it often comes down to one thing — people showing up for each other.
Across Minnesota, thousands of volunteers are showing up every day — to stock food shelves, tutor students, plant community gardens, organize donation drives and more.
And the way we serve is changing.
Today, it’s easier than ever to sign up for one-time events, find projects that line up with your skills or passions and even volunteer virtually from your computer.
MPR News host Angela Davis and her guests talk about why volunteering matters, how it strengthens communities and how you can find opportunities that fit your interests and schedule.
Guests:
- Niila Herbert is the executive director of the Minnesota Alliance for Volunteer Advancement.
- Melissa Wilson is the senior director of engagement at Greater Twin Cities United Way. She leads the United Way’s Volunteer United program, which promotes volunteer opportunities and events.
