Youth Volunteer Opportunities
Anyone can contribute to CMHFH and we welcome volunteers of all ages. However, in accordance with Federal Labor Laws there are limitations to what activities volunteers under the age of 18 can participate in.
16+ Years of Age
*All youth require supervision at a 2 to 1 ratio
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!
