Our Work
East Isles is a beautiful built and natural environment where neighbors gather. We are a volunteer-led association fostering connections, working to inform and engage neighbors and improve shared spaces.
We encourage resident and business participation in order to understand and take action on issues impacting the neighborhood. We develop initiatives addressing a range of topics that residents find important. Our focus is on increasing neighborhood involvement, preserving neighborhood vitality, and making improvements that keep East Isles one of the most vibrant communities in Minneapolis.
