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 (March), the Eat Street Festival (September), grant-writing support, engaging with neighbors on proposed development projects in the neighborhood, and ongoing project work within our Housing Issues Committee.
What talents, skills, network, time, or interests are you able to share with our organization?
To inquire about volunteering, contact our office at 612-871-7756, info@whittieralliance.org or visit the office in person anytime.

Monthly Housing Issues Meetings
Held on the third Tuesday of each month at the Black Forest Inn's banquet space, the Housing Issues meeting agenda might include a presentation on a proposed development project in the neighborhood, a discussion on City, County or State-proposed housing policy, ongoing projects for engaging and organizing neighbors, homeowners, and property owners in pursuit of improvements to Whittier's housing and livability climate. We also encourage and provide support for community-led projects of this nature. Everyone is welcome to attend!
Motions at the Housing Issues meeting can be forwarded to the Whittier Alliance Board for final action – for example, positions on proposed policy, support for (or opposition to) a housing or commercial 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.
