C3 TwinCities: For Career, Cause, and Community
Since 2016, our program connects career, cause, and community through a service year that elevates the skills and professional relationships of the next generation of community leaders. All of our programming is rooted in a strong social justice framework.
C3 TwinCities VISTAs serve full-time for 12 months in organizations advancing strategies to lift up opportunity youth, foster student-centered education, and build vibrant local economies.
