Volunteer

Give back. Creatively.

Giving back to Bemidji State can be more than just financially. While philanthropy is one of our key pillars and is vital to the success of BSU and its students, so is an eager base of alumni and friends who want to give back with their time and talents. Here are some of our current volunteer opportunities.
