Spotlight: 180 Degrees' Employees Turning Lives Around

5/6/2020

​"I work for the African American mothers and their families who've experienced domestic violence. I work so they feel seen, heard, and safe. I work to build trusting relationships with people in crisis, so I can connect them to food, employment, and shelter – and ultimately guide them toward healthy, independent lives.” 
​ -- Carla, 180 Degrees SAFE Program, Case Manager

​"I work for all of the young girls who have no safe place to go and have their basic needs met. I work so these girls have a safe adult in their life who they can trust."
-- Michelle, Brittany's Place, Program Services Specialist

I work for a better tomorrow. I work to recruit and mentor foster families so all children have a place to call home.”
 -- Rick, 180 Degrees Southeast MN Foster Care, Sr. Manager

Teams Take on More During Covid-19

5/4/2020

 
PictureThe Clifton Place team receives donated hygiene kits and supplies.
Our teams at 180 Degrees are working extra-hard during Covid-19.

In our six residential shelters, staff are working 12-hour shifts as a way to limit the number of people entering and exiting our emergency shelters.  In addition to welcoming new clients, preparing meals, leading support groups, and handling adminstrative tasks, they're now taking and recording temperatures of all who enter, disinfecting entire facilities, and providing new services. With many community-based programs closed due to shelter-in-place requirements, our dedicated teams are helping youth with on-line learning, leading chemical and mental health support groups for youth and adults, and providing transportation to interviews and jobs. 

We salute all of 180 Degrees front-line workers those who work with struggling families, women who experience domestic abuse, and youth who experience neglect, homelessness and sexual exploitation and trafficking.  Thank you to our teams who work tirelessly helping men exiting prison find jobs and permanent housing and those who recruit and coach new foster families making a difference for youth.
