Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Guild Incorporated! Every day, people like you are helping others overcome isolation, become more involved in community life, and fulfill their goals and dreams.

Volunteers at Guild Incorporated help in a variety of ways. To apply for any of these opportunities, or for more information, click here.

Friendship Volunteer
Give a little time, get a lot in return. It only takes a few hours a month to make a huge difference in the life of an individual.  Help your new friend stay active, improve their health, and fulfill their dreams.  If you like, share or focus on a special interest together (sports, fishing, or golfing.) And the best part is, you'll not only see what it does for them, you'll feel what it does for you.  Flexible schedule, mileage and expenses reimbursed. 

Driver and/or Courier
Drivers are needed for both occasional and regular assignments. Take people to the grocery store, appointments, and other necessary places whenever it fits your schedule. The Courier drives a regular route one or more days per week. Mileage is reimbursed. A pair of volunteers can take turns driving!

Basketball Team Manager
Cheer on the team! Provide team management for a co-ed adult amateur team.  Minimal knowledge of the game is required, but a supportive personality to boost the self esteem of team members is a must.  One evening per week.  Position requires driving a large van to transport players. A pair of volunteers can share Team Manager role, too.

Open Hours Assistant
Chat, play board games, enjoy a game of pool or cards in a relaxed atmosphere.  Get to know a variety of people.  Open Hours occur at our Community Support Program four weekday afternoons each week; choose what works for your schedule. Team of two volunteers can work together. Consider sharing your computer skills or teaching a workshop. 

Activity Assistant
Assist with art & craft activities, play sports, board games or go on field trips with residents.  Afternoon and evening hours are available (occasional weekends, too.) A team of two volunteers can work together.

Fabulous Friend
Hang out with the guys! Enjoy activities such as board games, walks, conversation or outings (coffee, movies, bowling, shopping) and interact with one or more of four men.  Flexible schedule is available; including weekend hours. A pair of volunteers could be an absolutely fabulous team, too.

Miscellaneous Positions
Help with fundraising activities or other special needs that become available.

Group Opportunities
Groups can be involved with our Community Support Program in West Saint Paul (located five miles south of downtown Saint Paul) for one-time or ongoing activities. Coordinate an arts & crafts activity, Birthday Bash, or Bingo Party -- or coordinate a special activity like coffee tasting, travelogue, karaoke singing, or a holiday party.  Plus, other opportunities may occasionally be available during weekday afternoons.  Guest speakers are welcome, too.
