Volunteer
Our Support Starts with You
Volunteers play a vital role in supporting our mission and values. Whether you’re offering a helping hand at an event, supporting a program, or making someone feel seen and welcomed, your time and energy make a real difference at the Minnesota JCC.
Camp & Youth Program Volunteers
Support the JCC through hands-on volunteer opportunities that make our programs possible. Join our Camp Crew to help set up and break down camp spaces before and after each season, or join our Host Families Support network by welcoming guests into your home or helping coordinate housing for visiting groups. These meaningful volunteer roles directly impact the experiences we provide to our community.
Arts & Culture Volunteers
Volunteer with Jewish Arts & Culture programs and help bring exceptional performances and events to life in our community. Front-of-house volunteers serve as ushers, greeters, and box office staff, managing ticket sales, will-call, and flyer distribution to welcome audiences. Event Operations volunteers support concessions, assist at the tech booth, and coordinate artist hospitality to ensure smooth, memorable experiences for performers and guests alike.

The JCC hosts special events, including community-wide celebrations, fundraisers, and other initiatives, throughout the year. Opportunities for special event volunteers include:
- Greeting Guests
- Event Set-Up and Take Down
- Support Event Stations/Activities
- Administrative Support
