History

ServeMinnesota began in 1994 as the Minnesota Commission on National and Community Service, then housed within the Department of Children and Families, the State's designated recipient and administrator of funding for Minnesota's AmeriCorps program. In 2002, the Minnesota Legislature approved the organization becoming a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization with the broader mission of advancing national service and volunteerism across the state.

Over the past five years, and with the leadership of our Executive Director Audrey Suker, and the Board of Directors, staff have worked together to strengthen the organization's strategic role in addressing the needs of our Minnesota communities. The organization has succeeded in establishing itself as a nonprofit and in providing statewide leadership to meet critical needs with AmeriCorps resources.
