About Engage Winona
Engage Winona is a 501c3 nonprofit cultivating stronger communities in southeast Minnesota by reigniting community participation through dialogue, support, and training. Our programs bring people together, spark ideas, and cultivate the conditions for a community where we all belong, connect, and contribute.
Engage Winona was founded in 2017 to meet an expressed need for an organization that could train, support, and amplify community members to get involved in making a positive local impact, and drive systems change on multiple levels.
Engage Winona has operated for 8 years in Winona County and has built deep, trusting relationships across the county and region, from local businesses to multi-county agencies.
Our ongoing work of civic engagement and community-building has shifted the culture of how people come together to envision the community’s future and stay together to create it. Our programming is highly relational and place-based. It is tailored to the community we serve, because we are working to co-create a Southeast Minnesota where we can all contribute, connect and belong.
