Lyndale Neighborhood Association

Volunteers are an integral part of our work at LNA, and we couldn’t impact the community in the way we do without you! At LNA, we want your volunteer experience to be as enriching and engaging as possible, offering opportunities for professional development, networking, and the satisfaction that comes through working towards building a safe, vibrant and sustainable community. Please contact Aryca Myers at (612) 824-9402 ext 26 or via email at aryca@lyndale.org to learn more about these and other volunteer opportunities in the neighborhood.

Immediate Needs

Childcare Superhero: Do you love children?  Do you enjoy channeling that inner child and unlocking creativity and humor?  LNA works hard to develop programs that are accessible and eliminate barriers to participation. Both the Women’s Leadership and ESL Programs provide childcare enabling community members who would otherwise be unable to attend classes, meetings, trainings, and/or workshops.  Be a superhero and volunteer as a childcare assistant!  Have fun while directly impacting someone’s life.  We need helpers Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30-7:30 and every other Friday from 5:15-8:30.  Contact Aryca at 612-824-9402 ext. 26 or aryca@lyndale.org for more information and to sign up for a shift!

Office Superstars: There is always something to do around the office at LNA! Be it data entry, office organization, filing, or working on a special project, come use your administrative skills to work towards a great neighborhood.

Chatty McGees: Do you love to chat and meet new friends? If so this is the perfect opportunity for you! LNA is launching its English Empowerment and Action program which will provide English as a second language classes for non-native English speakers in Lyndale. By simply talking with one of the students, you will be improving their listening, speaking, and comprehension skills, not to mention making a new friend!

Ongoing Opportunities

Communications Artisan: We need your graphic arts skills to design and/or improve our communications materials. A great way to build your portfolio! We often print posters, flyers, and pamphlets and would love to have your expertise lead us to engaging materials.

Redeemer: Want a huge ROI!? Go to Redeemer to volunteer and you will make someone’s day. After introducing my baby to one of the residents at the ice cream social, she said, “This has been one of the best days I’ve had.” Ten minutes + a baby = making someone’s day “the best.” That is huge. There are a variety of ways to volunteer and they will work with you to best use your talents and skills.
