Our Work
And the Roles We Play
The work we do in our community spans five distinct areas: 211 resource helpline, nonprofit partnerships, advocacy, innovation and business partnerships. Through the roles we play in each of these areas, we couple strategy and data with compassion, equity and inclusion to fuel lasting change throughout our community.
Our Commitment to Equity
Across each area, equity remains at the center of our work, driving our strategies, informing our conversations and guiding us toward our vision of a Greater Twin Cities where all thrive regardless of income, race or place.
