Volunteer Director at Fraser

Build Something Bigger — And Change Lives, Including Your Own. In 1935, Louise Whitbeck Fraser opened a school in her home for people with disabilities — defying social expectations and choosing compassion over convention. She believed everyone deserves the chance to reach their potential and thrive. Today, that same bold spirit is alive in every Fraser service. We’re still building something bigger — a more inclusive, connected world where everyone belongs. At Fraser, you’ll find more than a job. You’ll find purpose. You’ll find growth. And you’ll find a place where your work changes lives — including your own.

Fraser is Minnesota’s leader in autism, mental health, and disability services — and one of the few Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) in the state. As a nonprofit organization, we provide integrated community behavioral healthcare that improves quality, accessibility, and coordination of care. We lead with compassion, innovate with purpose, and fight for inclusion — every single day. Ready to Build Something Bigger? Join Fraser. Grow with us. Make a difference. Because when you thrive, so does the world around you.
