Volun-Tourism Day

Join Visit Saint Paul for Volun-Tourism Day, a hands-on opportunity to give back to the community we love! In partnership with Urban Roots Minnesota, we're rolling up our sleeves and diving into a park clean-up project to help beautify and restore local green spaces in our East Side metro. It’s a meaningful way to connect with each other, serve the city, and support the inspiring mission of an organization that’s been growing healthy communities through food, conservation, and youth development for over 50 years. Whether you're a tourism pro, a community leader, or just someone who cares deeply about Saint Paul, we’d love for you to be part of this day of shared purpose and people-powered impact. 🌿 Expect to get a little dirty! 🌿 We'll provide supplies, but wear clothes you don’t mind getting messy. Spots are limited: RSVP today and be part of something great!
