Twenty-five years ago, Steve Rothschild, a former General Mills executive, founded Twin Cities R!SE to address the vast unemployment and generational poverty that he saw, particularly among African-American men.

I knew very early on that TCR was a special place. When I did GED tutoring I remember the excitement and smiles on peoples faces and the feeling I had when they thanked me for my help, I have that same feeling every time we help someone else obtain employment and grow in to the person and the life God created for them.

When my husband and I first decided that we’d like to move to the Twin Cities from Denver, CO, I started researching nonprofits in the area. Twin Cities R!SE really stood out as a results-oriented organization creating positive change, and a great community partner.

We are excited to be welcoming our newest participants to the first professional Call Center Career Pathway program at Twin Cities R!SE
