Volunteer Opportunities
Program Support
Project Success programs have been proven effective in helping, students Dream Big, Ignite Possibilities, and Grow Exponentially into inspired individuals ready for success. Our program volunteers help support all the work we do with students throughout the year.
DRIVER
Project Success collaborates with over 50 Twin Cities theater partners who generously donate tickets and help us coordinate theater experiences for students, families, and teachers. These theater experiences are provided at no cost for students and their families, with transportation services available to ensure everyone can attend. Our volunteer drivers play a crucial role in increasing access to these incredible theater opportunities.
INSTITUTE COACHES
The Project Success Institute is a place where Minneapolis high school students can take free classes in subjects including bicycle tech, money management, baking, coding, and cooking. Located at our office at 1 Groveland Terrace, this program is designed to give students a deeper dive into the professional and technical life skills they need to make their way in the world. Volunteer coaches help facilitate conversations, ask questions of students to drive learning and interest, and have the opportunity to share their real-life experiences with students.
DEVELOPMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT
In addition to student-facing volunteer roles, we have opportunities for administrative and development volunteer work. Our development and administrative volunteers keep things running smoothly behind the scenes, helping us to continue working towards our mission.
A Rewarding Experience:
“Being a volunteer for Project Success is one of the most satisfying volunteer opportunities for me. I like connecting with students during the drive to events and sitting with them. We are all part of the Northside Minneapolis neighborhood, so it is good to meet the kids who will be tomorrow’s adults in my area. I try to bring a positive experience into their lives, sitting with me as an adult, having conversation, and sometimes seeing them dressing up for a special play or event. Every time I see them enjoy something ‘new’, and they open up, we have some wonderful conversations. They are as surprised by me as I am by them. Project Success is something special in ALL of our lives.”
– Lynne Young, Volunteer Driver
