Green Dot LA

No good deed is too small to matter.

Who we are

Green Dot Lewiston-Auburn is an initiative by a group of local volunteers who are committed to making our Twin Cities community a better and safer place by teaching strategies for safe and effective responses to hurtful and hateful words and behaviors. In this way, we aim to reduce the occurrence and impact of harassment, assault, domestic and partner violence, and other forms of power-based interpersonal threats and violence.
