This upcoming season Minnesota Meeting will focus on three issues that make headlines everyday and impact communities throughout Minnesota: homelessness, youth violence, and immigration. These issues certainly touch our lives as parents, employers and community members, and they are matters of life and death for the people directly involved. Their impact is most profound on communities of color and contributes greatly to the wide gaps in income, education and health that exist between Minnesotans of color and white Minnesotans.

HandsOn Twin Cities is proud to help Minnesota Meeting participants take the next step in confronting these issues through volunteerism.  Each issue link, at right, will take you to a list of community organizations in the Twin Cities that strive to solve these issues through volunteerism.  Click on an organization's name, and you'll see a list of their volunteer opportunities. 

Now that you've heard about the issues, it's time to act. It's time to Be the Change. 

The Minnesota Meeting is a program of the

Minneapolis Foundation
