Our Mission

At Community Grassroots Solutions, our mission is simple yet powerful: to lift immigrants and refugees out of poverty and vulnerability, guiding them towards self-sufficiency. We strive to create a supportive environment where individuals are empowered to grow and prosper.

We are dedicated to not only aiding in the personal success of each person but also in fostering progress within the local communities. By working hand-in-hand, we aim to build a future where everyone can move forward together, united in strength and purpose.

Our Story

Community Grassroots Solutions (CGS) started in 2010 in Minneapolis, MN, as a charity with a big goal: to help immigrants in our area thrive. A year later, we brought our work to St. Cloud, focusing on education, jobs, and bringing people together to make our community stronger.

We believe that everyone should have the chance to learn and work to their full potential. That’s why we offer programs that help people get the skills they need for good jobs. We also create spaces where people from different backgrounds can meet, share ideas, and support each other.

CGS is proud to be part of the St. Cloud community. We’ve seen firsthand how coming together can make a real difference in people’s lives. Our work isn’t just about helping individuals-it’s about building a community where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

Join us as we continue this important work. With CGS, we’re not just changing lives-we’re shaping the future of our community together.
