I neglected to make an event, but Writing Circle is today from 4-6pm. So far it has been a blessing to curate this intimate writing space with black women and I am delighted and excited for the things we will create.

Come through and bring a friend. Thanks!

Conservation Fellows Partnership Program

What it is:
A 10-month partnership between 5 to 7 high school students of color and the Friends of the Boundary Waters
Wilderness. The program provides a mentorship experience that introduces students to:
• environmental advocacy
• wilderness and natural resource conservation
• higher education and career development
• professional networking
• college/employment references and support
Students will share their cultural perspectives with our organization about nature, wilderness preservation, and
environmental advocacy to help shape our work to be more inclusive and relevant in our engagement with
Minnesota’s diverse population.

Who is eligible:
Twin Cities Metro area high school students of color are eligible to apply. An interest in nature, environmental
protection and ecology is important, but experience in these areas is not required. Five to seven students will be
selected for the 2016-2017 program.

See this awesome opportunity from SPNN!

Are you a young person interested in media production? Do you know a youth passionate about their community? Applications for Set It Up are now open!


Set It Up is a teen produced TV show. It's also a creative and experimental space where participants can produce different forms of media, including music production, photography, and animation. Set It Up is a program where youth can talk with others and explore issues that are important to them. It's a great way to get to know new people and learn a new skill set, too! No experience is necessary.

its beginning to feel a lot more like the holidays in the cities, submit a peace of art to us that was inspired by this time of year and have a chance to host an open mic, have your piece displayed in our building, or something else of your choice (as long as we okay it.) Ready. Set. ART!
we cant wait to see what you have!!
