Power

Our capacity building programs weave networks and support community members working to create change.

Winona Area Kitchen Table

The Winona Area Kitchen Table is a cohort of local community members who have faced housing instability or homelessness. The team brings their own lived experience and invites cross-sector stakeholders to work together on solutions to housing issues that will truly work in our community.

Lived Experience Leaders 

This cohort leadership program is designed to deepen and diversify Winona's pool of community leaders. Participants with diverse lived experiences receive resources, support, and mentorship to work on community change projects over a year. This program debuted in fall 2020.

Engagement is for Everyone!

Free workshops and trainings from pop-up booths to half-day workshops to get folks engaged in creating and advocating for change. Workshops are designed to meet diverse populations where they’re at and address barriers to access.

Community Changemaker Lab

The Lab is a collaboration with the Winona State social work department to address community challenges affecting marginalized populations through research, advocacy, and direct collaboration with diverse populations. 

Resilient Winona County 

Engage Winona facilitates Resilient Winona County, a coalition of more than 40 organizations and 200 individuals working to build a resilient, trauma-informed community. We build and guide leadership and action teams, set and achieve strategic goals, and coordinate volunteers.
