Target demographics: Individuals and families with lower incomes throughout the Twin Cities region.

Someone who had 3 hours of volunteer time could: Work one to one with neighborhood youth, helping them with homework, boosting their literacy skills, and playing games. Volunteers can also help out with yard work and planting at our affordable housing locations; or in our employment training classrooms, assisting adult learners as they learn computer basics.

Geographic areas served: We serve individuals and families across the Twin Cities metropolitan area, with concentrations in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and several suburbs.

In 2011, PPL served 13,731 people, which is the most in our organization's history.
