[Minnesota Rising Dispatch] June 2014

[#mnrising Dispatch] June 2014

Early this month, we were delighted to host the Minnesota Rising Cascading Conversations Tour 2014 Advance Team Orientation! Welcoming aboard a stellar group of a dozen brilliant and curious conversationalists, we unveiled the revised Conversation Blueprint and stood aside as they began engaging with the questions and each other. We're excited to continue cascading this conversation far and wide and invite you to join in to help envision Minnesota's future!

Nexus Community Partners
 
Nexus' Boards and Commissions Leadership Institute (BCLI) is a 7-month leadership program that supports, trains and places people of color and other underrepresented community members on city and county publicly appointed boards and commissions that influence and impact equity in the Twin Cities Metro Area in economic development, health, housing, transit, and workforce development. The BCLI is a facilitated learning community of fellows who meet face-to-face (one full Saturday and one Thursday evening each month) from October through April. Fellows also complete online assignments together including readings, discussions, and webinars, for a total of approximately 80 hours. Fellows are given a small stipend for their commitment to and participation in the program. [Read more.]

Wild Gift Fellowship

Wild Gift
 
At Wild Gift, we are committed to supporting young leaders who are creating solutions to today's global challenges. We recognize that real change takes out-of-the-box thinkers capable of blazing new paths. The purpose of our Fellowship is to provide critical support for those choosing the challenging work of social change. Using wilderness as a springboard, our unique 16-month program provides inspiration, mentoring, seed funding, and a community of support that continues long after the Fellowship year to ignite and accelerate these visions into reality. While the Wild Gift program is designed to fuel solutions by young social enterpreneurs who are driven by their vision of a better world, our Fellowship is an investment in the individual's originality, insight, commitment and potential to become a leader of tomorrow.

Volunteer Spotlight: Lauren Satterlee

Cross-posted from the MINN website
 
MINN is pleased to feature Lauren Satterlee as our next volunteer in the spotlight. Lauren's leadership and ingenuity have resulted in an overhaul of the IDEA Summit registration system, an upgrade in online systems in general, as well as a sustainability plan to train new MINN volunteers. Lauren is consistently pushing her work a step beyond what is asked, or even dreamt. She is a true visionary who can see not only where a project is going, but which barriers may impede success and then identify a system to tackle each challenge. Lauren joined MINN as a volunteer in 2011 before going to graduate school to study international development in Boston. [Read more.]
