Virtually every great accomplishment or movement was started by someone who believed passionately in something- and someone who believed passionately in that person.

Welcome

200 Volunteers needed!

Free Arts Minnesota needs your help more than ever to help us recruit new volunteers for the upcoming mentorship year. Here are some fun ways to help:

1. Create your own mentorship volunteer group! If you have friends or family interested in joining Free Arts, invite them onto your team and spend quality time together by making a difference in the lives of children. We have a wide variety of group times and places available.

2. Post a flier in your favorite local hang out! Click here to download and print a flier that you can hang in a coffee shop, at the library or anywhere else you think people might see it.

3. Like Free Arts Minnesota on facebook and share our calls for volunteers with your social network.

4. Introduce Free Arts staff to your faith community, book club, artist group or company. We are always willing to come talk about Free Arts Minnesota! Contact Esther if you have anyone you'd like us to reach out to.

5. Share your volunteering stories with others! There's nothing more compelling than hearing someone else's experience working with Free Arts Minnesota youth. Simply sharing your story might generate a new volunteer.

If you refer a new mentor, please make sure that they include your name on their application. All volunteers who refer a new mentor to our program will be entered to win prizes made by local artists!
