Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Southeast Minnesota needs the support of volunteers in the Rochester, Olmsted County and surrounding region areas. Below is a list of volunteer areas and the kinds of volunteer opportunities we have available.

Connect with our Volunteer Coordinator:

Please note that any information submitted, to Beyond The Yellow Ribbon-Southeast Minnesota, is never shared with outside sources except for specific, registered businesses and/or community service organizations who are verified by our volunteer organization, and who fulfill the specific military family request for service. We do not sell or share our information to non-registered entities.

Donation and Fundraising: We need volunteers to help organize and conduct a donation solicitation campaign. Specifically we need volunteers to help design and write fundraising information brochures and flyers; to gather business and community organization contact data; to attend business, trade association and community service organization meetings to tell the Beyond The Yellow Ribbon Southeast Minnesota story; and to assist our corporate community non-profit sponsor, Family Service Rochester, in receiving and accounting for donations.

Military Family Events: We need volunteers to help plan and conduct monthly Military family events. This can be anything from helping out at specific events (registration, set up, take down, etc.) to making community contacts for decorations, refreshments, food, etc.

Communications and Public Relations: Volunteers are needed to help write Public Service Announcements and/or Press Releases; create and distribute individual event flyers; create and maintain volunteer, media and military family contact information; and represent Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Southeast Minnesota at various community service and support organizations.

Business Services: Volunteers are needed to help solicit businesses for participation in our military family service provision program. This would include registering businesses, verifying business information and then documenting business information with the Beyond The Yellow Ribbon Southeast Minnesota Webmaster.

Miscellaneous: If you don’t see anything that fits your skills or personality above, just let us know what you want to do or what special/unique talents you have. We’ll find a place for you on our volunteer team!
