Our School's Sponsor

Volunteers of America

Volunteers of America of Minnesota (VOAMN) was established in Minnesota in 1896, making them one of the oldest non-profits in the state. Throughout their history, they have responded to some of the most pressing societal needs.

VOAMN became the first non-profit charter school sponsor in the nation in 2000 because they recognized it as a new and effective way of carrying out their mission.

VOAMN has developed and practices a model of charter school sponsorship based on rigorous continuous improvement processes that add value to the schools with which they work while holding the school’s accountable for their own success or failure.

VOA has created selection criteria and a process to ensure that they only work with top-quality charter schools whose mission and purpose are in alignment with their organization. This has helped them achieve the goal of creating a cooperating network of schools that provide each other with resources and support.
