Anyone who is a block leader or would like to be one is invited to the Phillips Community Center cafeteria on Wed, 9/21 at 6pm for a block leader networking hour. Snacks will be provided.

Hello! My name is Ellie, and I am an environmental educator with the Neighborhood Naturalist Program at the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board. The aim of The Neighborhood Naturalist program is to connect children in our communities with nature through fun, hands-on environmental education programs. I serve the Upper South portion of Minneapolis and visit parks like Stewart Park, Brackett Park, Hiawatha School Park, Matthews Park, East Phillips Park, and Phillips Community Center! I have several different programs that are offered to the public, but some of my favorite are my Drop-in Discoveries (like the program at Phillips Community Center).
Tonight’s meeting has been cancelled due to the weather. Please join us February 24th for our next round of Committee Meetings beginning at 5:30pm at ICCM and via Zoom

When a crime is committed in a community it can have far-reaching impacts on the people who live, work, and play there. A community impact statement gives voice to the experiences of people in the community who want to tell the court and the defendant of a crime, how they hurt or damaged the wellbeing and safety of community members.
