The staff at Washburn made the quality of life for my child eons better. Our case manager Jane A goes above and beyond the call of duty. We are always treated in a respectful way! I don't want to think about what we would do with out the outstanding staff at Washburn!

Had a great time volunteering with this nonprofit for their 40 hours sexual assault advocate training. They provided a lot of information on a variety of topics and made volunteers feel empowered to help our community.

If you are not able to make them money, don't go here. That's all they care about. I worked, ate, lived, and slept here for 7 years. I developed severe neuropathy and was unable to work for the last year. The only thing they did to "help" was to yell, and try to convince me that I wasn't in pain. They've evicted me with virtually no help finding a new place.

I have been volunteering at Resource Inc. in family group, celebrating families program and the child development area for the last 2 years. I have seen first hand the positive impact these programs have on families. Alot of the clients are single women with children trying to make a better life for themselves and the lives of their children. Resource, Inc. provides programs, training and encouragement to help them acheive their goals and independence. I enjoy the weekly interaction with the kids and getting to know them individually. My volunteer experience has been rewarding for me as an individual.

I am wowed by the innovative and cutting-edge work of The Family Partnership in changing lives in our community. The Family Partnership often works behind the scenes so may not be the headlines, but they have impact in every major story affecting children and families today: the gaping achievement gap; child protection tragedies and anti-sex trafficking advances; immigration; affordable health care and mental health concerns; Gay Marriage and Transgender awareness. Staff and supporters have worked with communities for decades, sometimes generations on these critical issues that are so essential to creating healthy lives. <br> <br>AND <br> <br>The Family Partnership has just been chosen as one of ten human service organizations in the United States to take part in Change in Mind: Applying Neurosciences to Revitalize Communities, an exciting new initiative of the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities. Change in Mind is a three-year initiative of the, in partnership with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the Norlien Foundation. It will demonstrate the larger, more impactful role of the nonprofit sector as educator, convener, advocate, and true influencer of getting appropriate systems aligned to the science. The initiative will identify, support, and evaluate the processes that the 15 organizations in the U.S. and Canada will use to align the science with the goal of influencing systems to impact outcomes across the life course. This work will help to infuse, align, and accelerate established neuro-science research into practice and policies to benefit children and families in Minnesota and be shared with the Alliance for learning across US and Canada. <br> <br>Data for this review was derived from The Family Partnership staff news and press release (award).

I am temporarily homeless, was hungry and thirsty and had missed any other free meal in downtown. I walked in to a bright and clean facility, was greeted in a friendly manner, and explained my situation. Within a short time, I had been fed with simple, nutritious food, given extra for a later time, and heard words of empowerment according to our common faith tradition. Surprisingly, I was also given a job opening notice for which I will apply. Four needs met in fourteen minutes. . . must be some kind of a record!

If anyone living in the Minneapolis area whom is considered to be long term homeless, should definetely contact this nonprofit. Not only will they help you to get into an apartment, but will also give you a monthly stipend for living expenses. All this will give you mental stability and help with any addictions you may have.
