Dakota County General Volunteer and Internship Opportunities

Dakota County Citizen Advisory Committees support county government by involving citizens in the decision-making process, meeting requirements of state law, helping to define community norms and standards, providing technical expertise, serving as advocates, offering feedback, and reflecting the diverse interests of Dakota County clients and residents.

Now is the perfect time to get out and help out. Group volunteering is a meaningful break from the work/daily routine to help build camaraderie, collaboration, improve team communications, and to help make lasting change. Dakota County’s volunteer opportunities offer many unique and rewarding experiences for your group to experience together. All supplies, training, and event organization is taken care of by us. All your group needs to do is show up, ready to work and have fun!  

Working together makes us stronger, builds better bridges and opens up a world of opportunity to our residents. The Dakota County Volunteer Network (DCVN) exists to help local nonprofits and organizations tap into Dakota County's broader volunteer network. We seek to not only activate people who live in Dakota County but to everyone living in the Twin Cities metro and beyond. As participating organizations, we work together to build better programming and to share insights and ideas so that all of us can flourish and thrive in the causes that our organizations care about and support.
