• Partners

    Flipside strives to work in partnership with youth, families and community partners.  Flipside is offered through a joint partnership with the City of Saint Paul Public Library (SPPL). 

    SPPL Flipside and Saint Paul Public Library work in collaboration to support the literacy development of all Flipside participants.  For example: SPPL sponsored the January 2021 Activity Kit with books so to encourage families to participate in the Read Brave Library program and build home libraries. Saint Paul Public Library also has access to many online and digital resources that our participants are regularly encouraged to access to help them grow their literacy skills. Some of those resources include:

    Library Go

     

     

     

    In addition to the Saint Paul Public Library Flipside works with many other community-based organizations across the city. We strive to provide high quality programming for youth to succeed in school and life. These partnerships expand learning and access to opportunities that many of our youth would not otherwise have access to.
