MPRB to Host Concert at Father Hennepin Bluffs Park Sat, Sept. 6

Via a September 5 email from the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board:

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board is hosting a FREE concert to wrap up the end of another successful summer!  Nationally known artist Goapele will be headlining a talented group of performers that will take the stage starting at 4 pm on Saturday, September 6 at Father Hennepin Bluffs Park, 420 Main St. SE, Minneapolis. 

With this concert, the Recreation staff of the Park Board will be outreaching to community members and concert attendees, identifying the many wonderful volunteer opportunities within the park system.  We have a goal of growing our volunteer program and expanding programs to enhance the experiences of youth in Minneapolis. 

Do you have talents in mentoring kids on life skills?  Kids need adult mentors to achieve their potential and discover their strengths. 

Can you help provide academic tutoring?  Underachieving students need positive tutors to help get over their academic challenges.

Do you coach?  With more coaches each season, more kids can get individualized sports skill development and have a better overall chance to succeed in their sports endeavors. 

Do you enjoy helping at special events?  Almost all Park Board events could use more volunteers!

Do you have other skills that would benefit the community?  We are always looking to enhance the lives of others through new programs and opportunities.

Consider attending this concert to have a wonderful evening, but also sign up to give back to the city we all love.
