Volunteer Opportunities

Being a member of the Minnesota Chapter is great, but being an engaged, involved member is even better. Not only will the public works community benefit, you will get more from the organization by sharing some of your time and valuable expertise and insight. And you will have fun—we promise! 

Please consider volunteering for one of the opportunities below by contacting Volunteer Coordinator Michael Kirsch via email or phone at (651) 643-0481. You may also contact Michael to request your name is added to our list for future opportunities within an area of interest to you.
