“Paul Revere earned his living as a silversmith. But what do we remember him for? His volunteer work... All revolutions start with volunteers.” – Susan J. Ellis

Volunteer opportunities are available in many areas, seven days a week in the morning, afternoon and evening. Volunteers will be placed in opportunities according to their interests, qualifications and availability. Start the Revolution, and here’s how

• Delivering meals at home to shut-ins
• Playing piano for chapel
• Assisting residents on outings to local theaters and shopping
• Reading stories and the news
• 1:1 conversation, sharing your travels and adventures
• Providing manicures
• and the list goes on...

We are blessed to have a wide diversity of volunteers - volunteers who are here once a year and those who are here every day; individuals, families, service organizations and church groups. These volunteers complete a variety of tasks that compliment the day to day work of our staff – to do the little “extras” that can make a world of difference in the life of a resident.

You too, have the potential and ability to improve the quality of life for someone. Call St. Olaf Residence at 612-522-6561 and ask for the Director of Recreation and Volunteers or send e-mail to volunteers@stolafcommunities.org and we would be glad to provide you with further information.
