Our Mission
Volunteers in Education engages the community in the education of its students, supporting their growth and preparing them for productive citizenship.
How to Help
Volunteer, donate, or join the Board. You can help students in northern Minnesota learn and grow through tutoring, by supporting our programming, or by joining our board of directors and lending your time to the cause.
Join the Team
Tutoring individually or for a small group is a rewarding, fun, and engaging experience.
