DOMINIQUE
PIERRE-TOUSSAINT
Mentoring Program Coordinator
Born in the borough of Brooklyn, Dominique Pierre-Toussaint, the child of Haitian immigrants, came of age on the streets of Far Rockaway, Queens, where both the performing arts and athletics were among his first loves.
When Dominique relocated to the Twin Cities, one of his earliest jobs was as part of the security detail for Prince. Pierre-Toussaint learned a great deal during his stint at Paisley Park and took note of all the ways Prince gave back through philanthropic and community-related initiatives, more often than not, doing so anonymously.
Pierre-Toussaint was appointed by the Hopkins Community Education Executive Director to coordinate the 2020 Pandemic Community Outreach Task Force. He created an authentic strategic plan that organized and delegated resource distribution of Technology, Nutrition, and Transportation initiatives for the entire Hopkins Public Schools communities.
Dominique was the former director of ICA community relations and during his tenure, he was honored as the Grand Marshal for the 2023 89th Raspberry Festival in Hopkins, MN; the first person of color to be appointed this title. He was named the Hopkins Business and Civic Association's "Person of the Year" in 2019. As of February 2025 he was selected by Governor Walz and Lt. Governor Flanagan to serve on the Perpich Center for the Arts Education board.
Bolder Options encompasses all of my personal values related to a holistic approach to serving our mentees, families, mentors and staff as a team!
