Webber-Camden Neighborhood Organization

We are small but mighty and working hard to make the world a better place!

Webber Camden Neighborhood Organization is a nonprofit working every day to live out racial and economic equity in our community.  Located in upper North Minneapolis, Webber Camden experiences much of the same agony and opportunity as the rest of North Minneapolis.  Over 60% of our populations are BIPOC and over 30% of our community lives in poverty.  31% of the community are youth under the age of 17.  We have a beautiful neighborhood with many wonderful homes and great people who come together to share joy and share concerns and create solutions where we can for an even better environment.  Our leadership are residents elected by the rest of the community annually.   We have one full-time and three part-time staff.

WCNO provides a number of programs and events

*  Youth Leadership Council which meets twice a month to determine how to better their community through service

* Violence prevention programs for youth including time to interact with peers and build social skills in safe space as well as physical  activity and outdoor events like 3:3 basketball, kickball, kayaking, arts and financial management  

*  Trauma informed healing circles for youth and community members

*  A variety of housing programs providing assistance with purchasing and rehabbing local homes and a senior program to help them stay in their home longer.

*  Equity in Safety program that reimburses neighbors up to $250 for purchase of safety items like alarms and cameras.
