this is a large smiling group photo of community and local partnerships, Brooklyn Park employees, the Mayor, NHCC alumni and local leaders together in Helling Hall on the stage posing for a photo at a Civic Engagement Series event we hosted in fall 2025.

The goal of the Civic Engagement Education Series is to bridge the gap between residents and local government by transforming residents from passive observers into active community participants. The series equips residents with the knowledge, skills, and motivation needed to influence municipal decision-making, improve quality of life, and strengthen trust in government.
