SPNN was founded in 1984. We spent this year reflecting on our history and evolution. We talked to folks who helped create Cable Access Saint Paul (CASP) and transitioned us to the SPNN we are today. We invited in past and current board members, program participants, staff, and partners to talk about the impact we had/have on the community and them. We interviewed over 20 people and will be releasing collective and individual stories once a week on this page, our channels, and social media.
You have an opportunity to help SPNN continue for the next 40 years- support SPNN through a one time donation or become a recurring donor. Any amount helps SPNN reach our annual goal of $25,000 from individual giving.
