PPL Volunteer Community
Share your skills and expertise to strengthen our community through a wide range of volunteer opportunities with PPL.
By contributing your time and talents, you can encourage a love of learning in youth, help adults reach the next step in their career, or make a difference in our neighborhoods with beautification projects.
Volunteer with Youth
Help PPL youth and families thrive by volunteering to work with school-age youth at one of PPL's locations. Youth Programming happens throughout the year in Minneapolis and St.Paul.
Volunteer with Adults
Volunteer your time in one of PPL's many programs. Opportunities include computer lab coach, Diploma Connect Tutor, and many more.
In-Kind Donations
In-Kind donations are collected by request from PPL participants and community members. Many of these requested items are not covered by public programs such as SNAP or WIC and can be cost-prohibitive for many PPL clients.
