Many of us want a better Minnesota but wonder how to make a difference. There’s a seemingly endless array of causes and people who need a helping hand. But how do you make the biggest impact with your time and energy? If you want to address racial inequality, where do you start? 

Interfaith Action of Greater St. Paul decided to focus on mobilizing volunteers to help create economic opportunity through small steps in education and employment through its volunteer program Opportunity St. Paul.

MPR News host Angela Davis talks with two leaders of the group about turning your desire to help into action that could change other people’s lives — and your own. 

For more information visit the Opportunity St. Paul website.

Guests:

  • Randi Roth is executive director of Interfaith Action of Greater St. Paul.

  • Yohuru Williams is a professor of history and founding director of the Racial Justice Initiative at the University of St. Thomas. He’s also vice president of the board at Interfaith Action.
