The Minneapolis Youth Coordinating Board promotes the health, safety, education and overall development of Minneapolis youth. We carry out this mission in several ways:
Policy alignment. The 10-member YCB board collaborates with elected officials to develop policies that serve our city’s young people.
Community partnerships. The YCB partners with the City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, the Minneapolis Parks & Recreation Board, the Hennepin County Public Library and the Minneapolis Public Schools. Together, we bring you and your kids activities, resources and support.
Initiatives. The YCB promotes a variety of initiatives and programs for young people.
Resources for parents and teens. Parents can find resources and activities for pre-k, school-aged and teenaged children on this website. Teens doing their own search for activities and support will find them here, too.
Through our policy work and partnerships, YCB helps ensure that Minneapolis youth:
Enter kindergarten ready to learn
Have access to enriching activities outside of school
Succeed in school
Are prepared for the opportunities and challenges of adolescence and adulthood
The YCB does not provide direct services to youth. Instead, we help connect young people with existing programs and services offered in the community.
History The YCB was founded in 1985 by the City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, the Minneapolis Parks & Recreation Board, the Hennepin County Public Library and the Minneapolis Public Schools. For 25 years, we have encouraged the healthy development of Minneapolis youth through collaborative action and policy coordination.
