We’re neighbors like you, volunteering in our community!

Stevens Square Community Organization (SSCO) is a volunteer led organization
serving the Stevens Square-Loring Heights neighborhood in south Minneapolis
since 1975.


We are hiring a Greening Coordinator!


Greetings from the board!

Thanks for visiting the SSCO website! SSCO is currently running on low capacity as we reorganize some of our initiatives and committees. We are currently 100% volunteer-led, so thanks in advance for your patience in our communications as we forge a new path. Here are our top priorities:

1. Maintain Rental Discount Program with timely reporting of volunteer hours and reliable volunteer opportunities.

To find events and meetings to participate in to earn your discount, please visit the events calendar below. Click here for more info on the rent discount program. 

2. Align our organization’s strategy

We are working with a third party expert, Propel Nonprofits, to ensure the following: 1. Our policies and practices are in compliance with government and funding sources. 2. That we are able to reliably hire and retain staff & support volunteers. 3. Our organizational practices align with our mission

 3. Develop neighborhood outreach

We aim to develop ongoing communications to neighborhood residents, businesses and other stakeholders and also provide meaningful, creative ways for neighbors to participation in the organization and community.
If you are interested in being a part of these conversations and processes, please join us at Board Meetings, on the 1st Tuesday of each month (check the events calendar for time changes around holidays and election days). Thank you for your patience as we navigate these new waters! We hope to see you at our events and board meetings, and look forward to your input and feedback.

What we’re up to this month:

Colorful mural featuring a landscape of flowers, plants, and water. Above the horizon is a dark skinned person wearing a pride flag tshirt, their arm raised in a fist. In the sky, clouds spell out "PERSIST" against a sunset sky.
