2007 YCB YEAR IN REVIEW

2007 was a breakthrough year in many areas of the YCB – from early childhood screening in homeless shelters and model parenting education and support in targeted communities; to outreach from MPS Family Resource Centers to newly arriving families around health care and social support; to youth resource mapping, strategies to increase access to OST opportunities including circulating buses, and youth engagement in policy. We couldn’t have done it without dedicated staff, a committed Board of Directors and wonderful partners in the parks, schools, libraries, county, city and community. Here are some of the highlights from 2007.

You^th Are Here Buses

Lack of safe and reliable transportation is a major barrier preventing youth from participating in youth program opportunities. In order to help eliminate this barrier, the YCB has created two You^th Are Here bus routes. The bus is free, but registration is required. Click here to view downloadable registration forms. The Youth Are Here bus will run, from January 22-May 16, 2008.For further information please contact 612-673-2060.

Minneapolis Youth Congress

The Minneapolis Youth Congress (MYC) is a representative body of youth that has authentic power and influence in decisions and policies relevant to youth, and that works in collaboration with elected officials focusing on a common understanding of the welfare of the youth in the City of Minneapolis.
