Visitors from both Tours and Minneapolis require places to stay during their visits. We need an individual who can coordinate and secure accommodations in each of the cities.

Contributing bloggers will have an opportunity to make the Tours experience come alive for visitors, as well as provide insights and topics related to building community across cultures. We are especially seeking individuals who are currently in Tours, recently returned from Tours or are planning a trip soon to contribute personal blogs.
Database Manager
We want to build a basic membership database to keep track of our supporters, volunteers, and friends. The Database Manager volunteer will have experience with data entry and knowledge of data based software programs.
Volunteer Coordinator
The backbone of our organization rest on its volunteers. The Volunteer Coordinator will initiate the retention and recruitment of volunteers to support various Minneapolis-Tours activities as well as ensure a positive volunteer experience for all our volunteers.
Best Practices Evaluation
To help Minneapolis-Tours evaluate the effectiveness of its outreach activities and projects, an individual is needed to coordinate research and evaluate the best practices of other sister cities organizations across the country and the world.
