Volunteer
volunteering through community thread
At Community Thread, we connect people who want to make a difference with the needs in our community. Serving as a central hub for volunteerism, we highlight meaningful opportunities for individuals, families, groups, and organizations looking to give back.
We also support families who want to introduce volunteering to their children, helping inspire the next generation of engaged, caring community members.
Community Thread’s mission is simple and powerful: to maximize resources and volunteers to improve the quality of life for adults and families in our community.
Community Thread’s network of volunteers play a critical role in this mission. By welcoming, engaging, and connecting volunteers, we help strengthen our community and expand our impact every day.

Community Thread uses the Get Connected platform to manage all volunteer opportunities. If you’re interested in volunteering, now or in the future, please take a moment to create an account:
What is Get Connected and how does it work?
Community Thread Connect (Get Connected) is the volunteer database used by Community Thread to manage volunteer opportunities both at Community Thread and throughout the community.
You can search this database to find individual and group volunteer opportunities, special events, and community needs that match your interests and availability. You do not need an account to browse opportunities, but you will need one to sign up for an opportunity. Community Thread and local nonprofit organizations post all available opportunities in one convenient place—so whether you’re a group, individual, or simply exploring the idea of volunteering, there’s something for you.
To get started, fill out the Sign Up form on Get Connected. You’ll be asked to provide basic information about your interests so we can match you with opportunities that fit your skills and availability.
Additionally, Community Thread has a variety of volunteer roles available at our Stillwater and Bayport locations. If you are interested in specific ways to get involved or have your own idea, please contact Kate, Volunteer Engagement Director, at Kate@CommunityThreadMN.org or call 651-439-7434.
