People who move here stay here. People who move away come back. That's because Minneapolis and St. Paul are a unique mix of bustling city life, incredible natural scenery, and historically significant landmarks.

Whether it’s the arts district in Northeast, international foods at Midtown Global, or nightlife in Downtown, there’s a neighborhood for everyone—each with its own identity and feel. It’s easy for our corps members to find a neighborhood that fits their needs and still stay connected to the area as a whole using our Metro Transit system and bike-friendly roads.

The Twin Cities have a unique, multicultural community with 3.3 million residents from all backgrounds. Our region is comprised of a diverse, expansive network of corps members and alumni. Nineteen percent of our corps and 16 percent of alums identify as people of color, and more than one-fifth come from low-income background. Our alums span across all sectors in the Twin Cities’ community, from teachers to policy and advocacy leaders.
