Banyan Health and Safety Statement
The health and safety of Banyan youth, families, and staff is our primary concern as we monitor the guidelines from the CDC and MDH to mitigate spread of COVID-19. Our Pandemic Preparedness Plan serves as a foundation for our operations and program modifications while addressing health and safety needs. For example, masks are required on the premises, temperatures are taken upon arrival, and social distancing is practiced.
The pandemic has changed how we interact with each other and conduct programs, and the learnings we have gained will continue to influence our health and safety practices this year and beyond. Banyan’s work to develop youth, strengthen family, and create community has never been more important and remains intact. Our vital work has always been and will always be more than what happens in our building. The relationships and trust we have forged with our neighbors will guide us through as we support families now and into the future.
Help us Support a Great 2022-23 School Year
Over the last 22 years, St. Bart’s School’s Cool Ministry has partnered with Banyan Community to fill thousands of backpacks with school supplies and provide
uniforms to youth in the Phillips neighborhood of south Minneapolis. One of the many results is the 70 graduates from DeLaSalle!
Backpacks, uniforms, and school supplies are just the beginning of ensuring our K-12 youth are prepared to succeed in school each year. Banyan kids work hard while supported by their parents and Banyan programs year-round.
You can be part of the success by supporting School’s Cool this year by […]
Developing Community Since 1998
Banyan Community is rooted in the Phillips Neighborhood to transform lives by developing youth, strengthening families, and creating community. As a Christian community development organization, Banyan believes that when youth, family, and community are synchronized the greatest progress is made on education and poverty.
