  • Can help with clean up, landscaping, or painting on construction sites
  • Can help with lawn mowing, shoveling, or cleaning
14 Years of Age and Younger
  • Deliver flyers
  • Help with baking
  • Bike in the Habitat 500

To read more about these policies you can visit  the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry’s website.
Ways to Get Youth Involved
 
A simple and great way to get youth involved is through fundraising and advocating. Volunteers in the past have ran lemonade stand fundraisers, challenged their school to penny wars, or helped us deliver flyers to local neighborhoods.
 
If you want to get your family, classroom, youth group, or club involved with CMHFH please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Jessica Dahl (jdahl@cmhfh.org or 320-248-8256), for more ideas!

Equal housing opportunity

​We are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
