Educating our children is the responsibility of our entire community. You can play your part in supporting Minneapolis students’ success, even when short on funds or time to volunteer.
If you’re a parent: get tips on becoming more engaged in your child’s future or attend a parent focus group. If you’re a student: apply for STEP-UP, research AchieveMpls-administered grants and scholarships, or visit your school’s Career & College Center. If you’re a business leader: pledge a job for STEP-UP students, or attend an AchieveMpls event. If you’re just concerned about educating our youth: sign up to get e-newsletters from AchieveMps featuring stories on the latest happenings in our schools.
No matter who you are, we hope you’ll join us in supporting the Minneapolis Public School students. They are our future neighbors, colleagues and friends and they deserve our help now.
If you do find time and want to work directly with the students, please visit our volunteer page using the link to the left.
Patients and families walking into HCMC are greeted with a friendly smile from Martin Campbell and his fellow ambassadors. As a recent high school graduate dreaming of one day becoming CEO of a large, urban hospital, Martin was an ideal candidate for placement in a medical internship through STEP-UP's healthcare pipeline. "Working at HCMC has helped me enhance my people and problem solving skills. I have learned the importance of networking and professionalism," said Martin. Chosen to speak at STEP-UP's year-end recognition event, Martin shared his goal of leading a hospital some day with the crowd. Then, as he stepped down from the podium, he lifted his shirt sleeve to show one STEP-UP staff member that "I've already got the CEO watch!"
