Dakota County General Volunteer and Internship Opportunities

Dakota County Volunteer Network Sampling Series 2025

Interested in volunteering but not sure where to go? Looking to try a few things and see what best fits your interest and skill sets? Just looking to dip your toe in the water first? Then this is a great opportunity for you! 

DCVN Sampling Series seeks to connect local volunteer programs with fresh faces and new interest from our local communities. These events are one-time commitments that seek to show participants a glimpse of an organization and the good work that they do with the option to get fully plugged in after the fact. 

This Month's Event: Spring Yard Clean-Up with DARTS 

Volunteer as an individual or as a team of coworkers to help an older homeowner clean their yard this spring. With your help, local seniors can remain independent in their homes for as long as possible. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the impact you make in your community while making a connection that enriches aging! Flexible scheduling is available from mid-April through May.

Sign up at https://dartsconnects.org/volunteer/ or call Lindy Engelken, at 651-234-2254.

DISCLAIMER: This position is not with Dakota County Volunteers but with another organization located in Dakota County. You may have to complete additional registration/documentation with the organization to fully apply for this opening. The organizations that host these opportunities take full responsibility for the organization and management of the opportunities listed above. 

Since 1974, DARTS has been a community-based nonprofit serving caregivers, older adults (55+) and their families in the southeast metro. DARTS recognizes the transition involved in aging and our history reflects our adaptiveness to address changing community aging needs. DARTS services empower older adults to age independently in place and support caregivers. Our services are available to all seniors and caregivers regardless of income, race, and background.
