"This space is one where we can change the narrative. I grew up in north Minneapolis, and our community is overburdened and underfunded, as a lot of us know. So this is an opportunity to bring resources and joy and pride back into our communities." - V3 Sports board Chair Analyah Schlaeger dos Santos To continue reading the Star Tribune article about our Phase One Grand Opening Celebration, click here: https://lnkd.in/gdq4jfMa

We are proud to collaborate with Mohammed Lawal, CEO of LSE Architects, and his exceptional team in bringing The V3 Center to life for North Minneapolis. Hear from Mohammed Lawal himself directly in this interview: https://lnkd.in/d5dTZkhy

North News put together a beautiful article last week, highlighting how we're providing solutions to the disparities that exist around water safety and more! "Aquatics may be the marquee feature, but Binger wants V3 to be a community hub with a variety of programs. There is a drop-in daycare, a room for a teen tech center, and another for a boys' and girls' club. There’s a full gym. A walking/running track and basketball courts will be part of phase 2."

Thanks for the great post, Faith! Well said, and this photo is incredible! At V3 Sports, our mission is to elevate our community. One big, important way we're doing that is through aquatic education in our beautiful pool in The V3 Center. Opening soon - stay tuned for more.
