Volunteer
We Need Your Help!
NAMI McLeod County is looking for individuals who share our desire to raise awareness and support people with mental illness, their families and friends.
Board Members
We are looking for board members to help guide and implement our mission.
Support Group Leaders
NAMI McLeod County is looking for compassionate and dependable individuals to help facilitate peer-led support groups for families/partners/spouses of people with mental illness.
NAMI support groups are unique spaces that are about finding strength in a community of peers, instead of counseling others or providing therapy.
Support groups help participants build awareness, understanding and connect with others in their community who face similar experiences. Facilitators maintain a culturally affirming, private and confidential setting as they guide group members in sharing challenges, successes, and opportunities to learn from one another. Support group Facilitators must identify as living with a mental illness, or having a family member who does. They must be able to commit for at least 1 year of volunteering, leading groups for 1.5 hours weekly or twice a month and complete a two day training.
If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out the below form.
Upcoming Volunteer Orientation
We will be holding our volunteer orientation on Wednesday, September 7th from 4:30 - 6:30 pm at the Hutchinson Cash Wise Caribou Conference Room. If you would like to learn more on how you can help in your community, fill out the volunteer interest form, below. We will email a reply by Monday, August 29th with the orientation agenda and confirmation.
