Grand Opening of Pillsbury Creative Commons July 26th
Career Pathways building equitable opportunities for young people
A huge thank you to Gary Ly, Career Pathways Program Manager, and Julie Graves, Senior Director of Youth and Future Focus for your incredible leadership and commitment to youth development with Pillsbury United Communities.
The work highlighted by The Minneapolis Foundation in the Career Pathways feature is a testament to your dedication to building equitable opportunities for young people to explore, prepare for, and thrive in meaningful careers. Your vision and collaboration are helping shape a more inclusive future where every young person has the tools and support they need to succeed. We’re honored to be part of this work and grateful for the opportunity to have leaders like you.
A Call for Peace During This Tragedy
In the wake of the heartbreaking shootings that have affected our Minnesota communities, our hearts are heavy. We hold in you our hearts and send thoughts of healing to the families and communities of Representative Melissa and Mark Hortman, and Senator John Hoffman, during this deeply painful time.
We send healing, strength, and unity to all those impacted by this tragedy. In moments like these, we are reminded of the importance of compassion, understanding, and our shared humanity.
Now more than ever, we call for peace — in our streets, in our hearts, and in our nation. Let us come together to support one another and work toward a future free from violence.
