Help impact neighborhoods while
learning about our city!
Our Minneapolis program currently focuses on the Phillips neighborhood
on the south side of Minneapolis. Within this diverse neighborhood more than
70 different languages are spoken - much of the world is represented here!
The Union Gospel Mission works to provide food and outreach to those in this
community who are in need. This offers an opportunity for volunteers to get
to know the city through an “urban immersion” combined with barbeque
outreach.
A testimony: “I find it personally
exciting to be offered this type of experiential learning. My hope is that
with the knowledge and experience learned groups will not only feel good
about having helped the Union Gospel Mission, they will find themselves
empowered to do similar events in their own communities or wherever God’s
Spirit calls them.”
3 alternatives to get to know the city
while choosing to serve:
If you are interested in any of these
opportunities to help impact neighborhoods while learning about the city,
please contact Roger Quant, UGM Group Volunteers Manager.
