Meet Youth Changemakers

 

Learning & Leadership

We promote the learning, leadership, and social-emotional development of youth and seek to shift how programs engage youth in leadership and governance.

Programs and initiatives supported in this area expose youth to arts, culture, provide enrichment and youth leadership opportunities. We seek to shift how programs engage youth and support programs that engage youth in leadership and governance.

Economic Opportunity

We create opportunities for economic prosperity by supporting programs and initiatives that build workforce skills, promote youth entrepreneurship, and expose youth to career pathways.

Creating access to economic opportunities for young people is a key part of ensuring the long-term success of youth and communities in Minnesota. Learn More

Health & Safety

We champion programs that promote the holistic health & safety of young people by meeting basic health needs and ensuring young people are safe and not criminalized in their communities.

We take a holistic approach to health and safety and advance intervention strategies that prevent the criminalization of youth, which can pose a threat to public safety.
