Summary Report:
Northfield Racial and Ethnic Equity Collaborative - NREEC
The NREEC is now housed under and with Northfield Promise. Northfield Promise is a community movement to enable all Northfield area children to thrive, from cradle to career. This work is accomplished by connecting and aligning resources, programs and community members to collaborate toward measurable results on 10 benchmarks throughout every child's life. By aligning all major community institutions around this shared set of measurable benchmarks, we will achieve community-level change for children and youth growing up in Northfield, Minnesota. The NREEC strives to improve outcomes for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) children and youth and those experiencing poverty by addressing needs and implementing changes in housing, employment/workforce, and civic leadership policy and infrastructure. The superintendent (Matt Hillman) of the Northfield Public Schools and the administrator (Ben Martig) of the City of Northfield serve as organization co-chairs. January 25, 2023
