Join the Minnesota International NGO Network (MINN) and the Minnesota Public Health Association (MPHA) for a Talk and Tour of the Alliance Wellness Center at their offices in Bloomington to get an in-depth look at the organization in a small group setting. The agenda will focus on all aspects of the center, where Minnesotans of East African descent can get help overcoming addiction.
For volunteer-led organizations, evaluation and training opportunities can seem like impossible endeavors given budgetary and resource constraints. In this session we will showcase how these low-risk, high -reward environments offer ample opportunity for building evaluative thinking in organizations, developing future evaluation professionals, and strengthening evaluation capacity within the grassroots nonprofit sector.
Description:Join MINN members and prospective members for froyo and networking! On a hot summer night in Minnesota, meet at (yo)gurt[lab] in uptown to get some frozen yogurt then we'll walk over to Bde Maka Ska to network and chat in the grass by the lake. Be prepared to do a little walking and a lot of chatting!
Panel, Q&A session + Networking Hour
Join us on June 13 at WeWork to learn more about the ongoing work of some of our past MINN Fellows! MINN Fellows are dedicated to international development and doing global good better. We are excited to hear about Fellows' work prior to and since last year's Summit, and their takes on recent trends and changes in international development as we gather as a community at WeWork on this special occasion.
The panel and Q&A session will be followed by a social networking hour. Refreshments will be served.
