ABOUT OUR VOLUNTEERS
We have had several enthusiastic individuals, families, student groups, camp groups, and more volunteer with us over the years. Some people volunteer once and some have donated over twenty years of service to the Listening Point Foundation in one way or another. We are grateful for them all!
WHY VOLUNTEER?
We believe in the mission of the Listening Point Foundation, and our volunteers do too. Whether you live in the Ely area or can only volunteer for a day, we always appreciate an extra pair of hands!
WHAT DO VOLUNTEERS DO?
Our volunteers do a wide variety of activities!
Those who help out at least once a year usually do so at our annual LPF events. We usually have a booth at the Blueberry Arts Festival at the end of July, and all are invited to our Annual Sigurd F. Olson Birthday Luncheon down in St. Paul in mid-April and our Annual Northwoods Dinner in Ely at the beginning of September.
Other volunteers help on a more regular basis throughout the year, and the opportunities are endless! If any of these interest you, please let us know!

TOUR GUIDES
We have a great group of volunteers who guide our visitors on the tours of the Olson family home, Sig’s Writing Shack, and Listening Point. Our trained, volunteer guides each have a unique perspective and connection to Listening Point. They provide thoughtful perspectives, ecological information, and interesting stories that connect the past to the present.
