Education Outreach Partnership

Partners: Minneapolis and St. Paul Public Schools, St. Cloud State University (SCSU), the University of Minnesota, St. Paul College, Comunidades Latinas Unidas En Servicio (CLUES) Education Outreach Partnerships are designed to strengthen existing partnerships and to create new opportunities for MNHS to deliver transformative educational experiences to students. Partnership dollars were used to leverage matching dollars from the Minneapolis and St. Paul Public Schools to increase their commitment to contract with MNHS for educational programs, such as History Day. SCSU also provided matching funds for a partnership that will enrich U.S. history instruction with experiences at historic sites and museums, as well as providing paid internships to SCSU students enrolled in the Public History program. MNHS also expanded its summer enrichment programs, adding two new cohorts of the Summer History Immersion Program at the University of Minnesota and St. Paul College. Another summer program partnership introduced Latino students to IT skills and career paths related to operating MNHS.
