Our Sister’s Keeper Minnesota
It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, serving the Twin Cities dedicated to empowering BIPOC young ladies, women, and their families. We are equally dedicated to improving the overall health and wellness of the "community" through preventative and restorative programming, raising awareness, empowering families, and connecting them to opportunities that develop practical life skills, financial literacy, and self-esteem in underserved communities impacted by social injustices and inequalities.
OSKMN has established community partnerships that highlight the positive influence OSKMN has within the communities we serve. We have built trust through community advocacy and are considered a trusted community messenger, making community intervention and collaboration a priority. Partnerships with Ramsey County Sheriff, Saint Paul Salvation Army, Saint Paul Parks and Recreation, and the continued partnerships with the Department of Health, the City of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Center Area Schools, Brooklyn Center's Emerging BC Cohort, Hennepin County, and Hennepin County Victims’ Advocates
