About Us

East Side Neighborhood Services has been a centerpiece of the Northeast Minneapolis community for over a century. Today, it has expanded its social services to reach throughout Hennepin County with multicultural and intergenerational constituents.

We support our community with a holistic range of services from youth services like childcare, out-of-school time programs, summer camp, and an alternative high school, to older adult transportation, caregiving support, and wellness classes. We provide healthy nutrition with three food shelf programs. We help people gain economic stability and grow their careers through employment programs for all ages. We support family healing through our counseling programs for people who have been identified as using abusive behaviors as well as creative arts therapy for youth.
