Minnesota Volunteer Opportunities

Most local RESOLVE programs and services are run by dedicated volunteers who graciously donate their time and talent. If you have found our services as helpful as many others have, and if you would like to give something back to RESOLVE, please consider becoming a volunteer.  We have many exciting volunteer opportunities with varying levels of time commitment, no previous experience is required for many of the positions, and most can be done from home according your own schedule. Come join our committed and fun group of volunteers! For more information or to volunteer for one of these positions, please contact info@resolve.org.

We are looking for help in the following areas:

Peer-led Support Group Host (2-4 hours per month):
Peer Support Group Hosts moderate a regularly scheduled meeting to discuss and share infertility or adoption related issues following RESOLVE policies and procedures. Training is provided. Volunteer hosts are responsible for some administrative task to promote and report their group meetings. Involves attendance at a quarterly continuing education teleseminar. The first step of the process is to listen to the recorded audio training "How to Start a Support Group." For a link to this recording, please send a request to info@resolve.org.

HelpLine Volunteer (2-4 hours per month):
Help others who are just starting out on their path to resolution, by sharing your own experience and expertise. Check messages on one assigned day per week. These messages will come from people throughout the Mountain region, and there may be 0-5 calls on a given day. You do not need a dedicated phone line or other technology to volunteer. In total, the time requirement is about 10-30 minutes per week depending on the call volume. Training is provided. For more information, please contact Heather Gasser at hgasser@resolve.org.
