Did you know KFNA is Hiring?

January 26, 2023 By Sarah

With our neighboring neighborhood, Lyndale, KFNA is looking for a full-time Equity and Justice Organizer! Read more about the position here. 

Lyndale is also seeking a part time ESL Evening Teacher, with optional additional hours to assist students to prepare resumes and achieve their career goals by helping them prepare for interviews or apply for career path training. Read the details on the ESL Teacher position here.

Both positions offer a local focus, good pay, and a new way to connect to your community. The Equity and Justice Organizer position covers a wide variety of events and tasks and offers a very flexible schedule. Both positions really require someone with a comfortable grasp of the Spanish language.

If you would like to have a conversation about either position before you decide to submit your resume simply contact Sarah Linnes-Robinson, Director at .

Thank you to the Kingfield and Lyndale History Hounds!

January 5, 2023 By Sarah

Thank you to the dozen volunteers who have been sorting paper and scouring old news stories about our neighborhoods these past two months.  These History Hounds are helping to clear out the file cabinets, so that both Lyndale and Kingfield’s historic documents can be included in the the collection that the Hennepin Library Archivists are putting together. When completed, this collection will show the breadth and value of neighborhood actions and activities and how it has shaped Minneapolis over the last 30 years.

Our History Hounds are a talented bunch, but many also have a history of their own in archival documentation, or they are simply self-proclaimed trivia-history nerds!

Want to get involved? There is more room at the table (or more correctly, in the basement file-room) for a few more History Hounds. Just contact Nicole at to set a time to come dig through a box of papers!

Welcoming Simpson Housing Services to Lyndale Neighborhood

November 14, 2022 By Sarah

While writing this notice, carpenters and electricians and HVAC installers are buzzing about the former Zion Church building, getting it ready to welcome Simpson Housing staff and guests in early December. Before Simpson officially opens their doors, they want to invite Lyndale neighbors to come tour their new temporary space!

An Open House/House Warming date and time will be announced soon, and its timing will occur post-construction and pre-operation. If you want to receive a special invite to tour the new Simpson Housing Extended Stay Shelter which will be housed at 128 West 33rd Street simply fill out this form https://forms.office.com/r/cmpXz6YPYp or call 612.455.0841.

Like a regular house warming, there will be snacks and drinks provided, as well as a chance to talk with current volunteers and to sign up for future volunteer opportunities, including preparing and serving food to guests. We hope you will come and join Simpson Housing and the Lyndale Neighborhood Association at their Open House/House Warming Event!

–Steve Horsfield,

Executive Director, Simpson Housing Services
