Help create what comes next
For generations, these grounds shaped lives. Together, we have an opportunity to preserve their legacy and create something that serves generations yet to come.
Minerva at Aurora is founded on a simple idea: the best communities are built together. Here, families and elders, mentors and learners, veterans and volunteers, artists and scientists, makers and thinkers, families and elders, neighbors and visitors all have something to contribute.
Minerva will not be built by one organization or one benefactor. It will be built by people who believe that education can be better, communities can be stronger, and places like this still matter.
If you share Our vision,
we invite you to help Bring Minerva to life.
