Volunteer
Volunteering is a great way to meet other people in the community and make a tangible difference to Whittier. There are lots of ongoing opportunities, and we also hold plenty of volunteer-driven events throughout the year, such as neighborhood clean ups, our Annual neighborhood meeting, the Eat Street Festival, and ongoing work within our various committees. Volunteers can choose to focus on areas as diverse as community building, environmental sustainability, housing issues, or business engagement.
To inquire about volunteering, contact our office at 612-871-7756, info@whittieralliance.org or visit the office in person anytime.

Monthly Community Issues Meetings
Held on the second Monday of each month at Whittier Rec Center, the Community Issues meeting agenda might include a presentation on a new area improvement project through the City, an update from our State House or City Council Representative, or a community-led project by one of your neighbors. Everyone is welcome to attend!
If you have an idea for which you want to gain community support, our meetings are also a great place to gather momentum and participants. Recent initiatives put forward at the meetings have included Whittier Farmers Market and front yard place-making.
Motions at the Community Issues meeting can be forwarded to the Whittier Alliance Board for final action – for example, funding for a program, support for a housing development proposal or a commitment of Whittier Alliance resources. To vote at the meetings, you only need to show membership eligibility – that is, that you are a resident of Whittier or you own a property or business in Whittier. Residents can show a photo ID with their Whittier address, OR a photo ID and one of the following items showing a Whittier address: utility bill, bank statement or payroll statement. More complete information about voting eligibility in our by-laws.
