At Multiplying Good, we believe people realize their true potential through service to others; we empower individuals to bring about change, and we honor those who have taken on extraordinary efforts for the betterment of their communities. Since 1972 our work has helped individuals see just how positively they can impact the lives of those around them, and in fueling their personal growth and celebrating their achievements, we help them multiply their impact.

We are on a mission. Over the next five years, it is our intent to 1) actively engage 1,000,000 young people as the empathetic leaders and changemakers our country needs, 2) become the brand for service recognition in America, and 3) build The Ripple: A National Community of Service made up of individuals dedicated to putting GOOD back in the national narrative.

Our success as an organization is realized through the work that takes place in our regional chapters, of which Minnesota is one.  The Executive Director (ED) of each chapter is responsible for successful implementation of Multiplying Good’s mission, building awareness, raising resources, and delivering impact across their respective footprint.  The local chapter Board supports the ED in building community and dedication to our mission in three ways: community outreach, fundraising + networking, and partnership development, all three of which are critical to Multiplying Good’s ability to scale our flagship youth service-learning, leadership, and recognition program, Students In Action (SIA).

They accomplish this by partnering with and providing guidance to the chapter staff team through participation at Board meetings and other events with the express purpose of:

America’s blood centers need donors #NowMoreThanEver. The COVID-19 pandemic is devastating our blood supply: blood drives have been canceled and donors are afraid to visit centers. The American Red Cross has recommended hospitals reduce blood product utilization by 25%. This is a deadly shortage that affects millions, including anemic, transplant, cancer, surgery, sickle cell, trauma, and pregnant patients. There is no alternative for blood.

In response, we have launched our COVID Code Red campaign to support blood centers and the healthcare system. The goal of this campaign is to start a social movement to bring greater awareness and rally young people nationwide to advocate for their local centers. UBI leadership would provide support to those volunteers or Code Red Responders. Responders have the opportunity to make a substantial impact on the health of their community and give back during this hard time.
