Volunteer Services
Make a meaningful difference in your community.
Join a network of compassionate volunteers dedicated to supporting older adults and enhancing lives in our community.
Volunteer Services connects individuals with meaningful volunteer opportunities all across our service area.
We take time to match each volunteer’s skills, interests, experience, and availability with roles that make a real impact—creating rewarding experiences for both volunteers and the organizations they support.
Many of our volunteers age 55 and older participate through the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), part of Senior Corps—America’s largest volunteer network for older adults. Through RSVP, individuals join a nationwide community of more than 40,000 volunteers working to strengthen communities and address important local needs.
ElderCircle encourages community members of all ages to get involved. Whether you’re looking to give back, stay active, or connect with others, we’ll help you find meaningful volunteer opportunities in Northern Minnesota that fit your life and schedule.
