What is Volunteer Network (VN)?

The St. Olaf College Volunteer Network is committed to providing volunteer opportunities for students that benefit both St. Olaf and the larger community. As a student organization, its goal is to make a variety of volunteer programs available to students; some will be one-time events and others will provide for lasting participation. VN provides a wide range of services for children, the elderly, individuals with special needs, pets, and more. If you are interested in becoming involved with any VN programs, or would like to start your own volunteer program, please contact Katie Keil (keil@stolaf.edu) or Molly Jacobson (jacobsmm@stolaf.edu) or call x3045. We will connect you with the program that best suits your needs or perhaps help you discover some other interests. Feel free to stop by the Volunteer Network desk in the Student Activities Office (Buntrock Commons 107, P.O. Hallway).

It is the mission of the Volunteer Network (VN) to provide a variety of volunteer opportunities to St. Olaf College students. We strive to serve the campus community by empowering students to understand the impact they can have in the lives of others and promote self-fulfillment through lifelong service. VN will accomplish its goals by establishing cooperative relationships with the local communities, providing a supportive network for volunteers, and advocating for those seeking service.
