Volunteer and Make a Difference!
The light of a lantern can bring hope and courage when life seems challenging. Volunteers at Presentation Lantern Center give a helping hand as tutors, board members, donors and partners. Many individuals give newcomers a friendly hand for navigating in a new culture. We also have occasional special event volunteer opportunities.

RELAY IOWA IS COMING TO DUBUQUE!
Be part of the excitement as the world’s longest relay run finishes right here in Dubuque at A.Y. McDonald Park on Sunday, June 14!
Your time can make a big impact. Event proceeds support local nonprofits across Iowa, including the Lantern Center. We’re looking for friendly volunteers to cheer on runners and assist event organizers. Sign up for a fun, fast two-hour shift and join the celebration!
Greet teams as they complete the final leg of their incredible 339-mile journey from Sioux City to Dubuque. According to www.relayia.org, “Running nonstop over a single weekend, teams of up to 12 manage their pace and rotation through day and night.” At the finish line in Dubuque, many runners symbolically dip their running shoes in the mighty Mississippi!
