About Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches
Maybe it’s the laughter that permeates the offices daily. Or the monthly staff meetings where ideas are encouraged and accepted. Or the genuine feedback and appreciation you often receive for a job well-done. Or the entrepreneurial spirit that is so much a part of the organizational culture. Perhaps it’s the free coffee, tea and occasional treats. Or the laid-back workplace atmosphere. Or the summer afternoon away from the office on the annual staff appreciation outing. But more than likely, the aspect that makes employees passionate about working at the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches is knowing they are making a difference in someone’s life.
It is a workplace where compassion inspires action, whether working with low-income seniors, young people, urban American Indians, immigrants, ex-offenders or the hungry.
