Volunteer
Connect with us. Make a difference.
MPTF’s Volunteer Program creates intergenerational bonds through meaningful and engaging opportunities. Helping others can have a positive emotional and physical impact on your life, providing a sense of purpose and well-being that is referred to as “helper’s high.” MPTF Volunteers include industry members who want to give back, community members, and our dedicated Junior Volunteers.
VOLUNTEERING MAKES THE WORLD AND YOUR OWN LIFE BETTER
As a nationally recognized Program of Distinction by Generations United, we proudly have multiple generations of volunteers working together. From our youngest Junior Volunteers starting at age 14 to our oldest 110-year-old volunteer, there is a shared desire to help others. Our programs have a flexible structure that can accommodate your available time and offer the priceless rewards of paying it forward, regardless of your age or life situation.
