Legacy Family Center, MN

Legacy Family Center's goal is to address unmet social and educational needs of children and their families with emphasis on developing the capacity of the family, especially West Africans, through partnerships and collaborations. LFC values volunteers, who commit to LFC’s mission and vision and show interest in working collaboratively with a diverse group of volunteers, families, and other organizational stakeholders. Volunteers who show tolerance for the "productive discomfort" sometimes involved in collaboration (i.e. multiple decision-makers, accepting input from many, a slower timeline for accomplishing priorities) Volunteers, who make positive communication a priority, including constructive feedback and raising issues/problems/concerns in a proactive way so they can be addressed by LFC. Volunteers, who demonstrate willingness to invest time in training and personal/professional development to continue to learn and grow.
