HeightsNEXT is a volunteer organization that sponsors community events and projects. Neighbors come together to work cooperatively, learn about green practices, and celebrate our differences.
Mission
“To build a resilient and sustainable community in Columbia Heights, MN”
Our mission is centered on fun and educational events that build strong ties between neighbors, businesses, civic organizations, and our diverse cultures.
HeightsNEXT welcomes all walks of life. We are not affiliated with any race, religion, or creed, nor do we support or endorse any office, political campaign, company, lobby, activist group, or association of any kind. We simply aim to build community.
Most importantly, we promote health, equality, justice, and safety for all of our residents.
Meetings
HeightsNEXT has just one Annual Address meeting each January. The president reviews accomplishments of the past year and the state of the organization. Memberships are signed or renewed, and volunteers choose which events to help organize that calendar year.
Individual events or projects schedule their own meetings as needed.
Our Board
HeightsNEXT’s board meets quarterly to discuss business, review our practices, and vote on important matters. Learn more about the History of HeightsNEXT.
Partners
HeightsNEXT is committed to creating a strong and vibrant community for the next generation of Columbia Heights residents. This cannot be done without the cooperation of other organizations. We frequently partner with city staff, businesses, churches, schools, food shelves, civic groups, and many other volunteer organizations that are aligned with our cause.
