The Volunteer Bridge is an alliance of Volunteer Leaders from organizations and agencies in the Sherburne County area who wish to promote volunteerism in the community by making it as easy as possible to become involved as a volunteer. At any time, The Volunteer Bridge is aware of a variety of volunteer opportunities in local agencies. Each requires a different interest, skill and time commitment - from a few hours total, to a few hours per week or more. Watch local newspapers for the Volunteer Bridge listing of the newest areas where you can volunteer in the community.

Listed in this brochure are the agencies which currently belong to The Volunteer Bridge. Please call any of these members to ask about current volunteer needs in that agency, or call The Volunteer Bridge for a variety of openings in an even broader range of agencies. Your community needs you and it will be a better place because you care!
