Volunteer with CommonBond
Join our dedicated team of volunteers.
Connect with our youth and teen programming, which includes Study Buddies and Homework Center – strengthening literacy skills, improving academics, and providing mentorship for young residents. You can also apply to be a part of a Community Advisory Board (CAB). We'd love to have you join us!
Youth and Teen Programs
Volunteers are the heart and soul of our youth and teen programs! During the school year, you might connect with our Study Buddies program, providing youth with one-on-one literacy support, or join a Homework Center or Teen Program and team up with staff to support youth and teens with their schoolwork, engage in enrichment activities, and contribute to a positive and welcoming program space.
An application, background check, and short orientation are required. We have openings at several of our housing communities throughout the Twin Cities metro:
- Seward Tower East and West (Minneapolis)
- Skyline Tower (St. Paul - Midway)
- Torre de San Miguel (St. Paul - West side)
- Yorkdale Townhomes (Edina)
Community Advisory Boards
Are you looking to learn more about the importance of affordable housing in your community? Do you have experience in finance or board service? Consider joining a Community Advisory Board.
Community Advisory Board members help to advance the goal of creating and sustaining homes for all. Board meetings are a unique opportunity to connect with CommonBond staff, residents, and other community members to learn firsthand about the successes and challenges our housing communities are facing.
As a board member, you will review the financial audit for a housing community and attend the annual meeting, typically scheduled between April and June during regular business hours, for a one-hour meeting. We are looking for volunteers with finance or board service experience but anyone with an interest in board service or affordable housing is encouraged to apply. The enrollment process consists of an application and phone interview.
