Mission: Proteus, Inc. is a multistate nonprofit, 501c3 organization that has been serving agricultural workers and their families since 1979. Proteus, Inc. serves agricultural workers and their families who are experiencing lower socioeconomic statuses and need access to more resources. The Proteus, Inc. mission and vision have always centered around transforming to meet the needs of farmworkers, which is what we have done in the over 40 years of providing services to them and their families.
Location: Des Moines (47.8 miles from Grinnell College)
Needs: At this time, Proteus does not have the capacity to support in-house or remote volunteers. However, we always welcome long-sleeve shirt donations (to protect farmworkers from the sun and pesticides) and NEW Hydro Flask donations (to keep farmworkers’ water cool all day). You can even organize a drive in your community! For any other questions, please reach out to Emily Mendez at emilyme@proteusinc.net.
