Welcome to the Civil Society website!
Civil society instituted its best practice model for legal support and advocacy for systemic change specifically to reach diverse populations.
The organization has a proven record of achieving its objectives through its partnerships with other organizations serving disadvantaged communities, including, Lao Family, Frogtown Employment and Resource Center, Pillsbury United Communities, Korean Service Center, Vietnamese Social Services, Vietnamese Minnesota Association, Asian American Family Wellness, and Somali Educational & Advocacy Center.  The Washington-based Public Welfare Foundation, in evaluating Civil Society's program stated, that "... in having its walk-in clinics hosted by community-based organizations that provide comprehensive services to immigrant/refugee communities and communities of color, Civil Society builds off of the comfort and security that its clients have in speaking with those who understand their language, cultural practices, and the barriers to getting services from mainstream providers”. Free Legal Clinics Listing >>><<<(Civil Society is a 501(c) (3) organization and your contributions are tax deductable) Civil Society's Human Trafficking Program is applauded in the State report to Minnesota Legislature entitled " Human Trafficking in Minnesota, A Report to the Minnesota Legislature, September 2006", prepared by the Minnesota Office of Justice Programs.
