Developing Deep Connections with Frogtown and Summit-University Neighborhoods

Students, Sean Doherty, Lizzy Carson, and Ranae Pagler spent the summer working alongside community leaders in the Frogtown and Summit-University neighborhoods in St. Paul. Melvin Giles and Megan Phinney, co-directors of the Urban Farm and Garden Alliance were their main mentors throughout this rich experience. This presentation will explore the deep ways that both mentors and mentees are changed through the process of building relationships.
