Our Story

The Backyard Community Health Hub is a program of the Cultural Wellness Center that emerged from the 10-year Backyard Initiative, a former partnership between South Side Minneapolis Community Residents, Allina Health, and the Cultural Wellness Center.

Our work unleashes the power of citizens to heal themselves and to build community. Through work with individuals, communities, families, academic institutions, government agencies, philanthropists, and other non-profit organizations, we build a web of relationships that support community engagement, intercultural communication, and personal responsibility.
