On Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2012, the YCB, the City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minneapolis Public Schools, and the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board:
- launched a collaborative Call to Action, a groundbreaking, cross-jurisdictional movement for and with Minneapolis’ children and young people
- shared our commitments for supporting children and youth
- underscored that commitment by signing a citywide “Compact for Minneapolis Children and Young People,” a public commitment to our collaborative work.
Simply put – we want to make Minneapolis the best city inthe United States for children, young people and families.
Our thanks to all who attended and contributed to the strategic conversations around our shared goals. Whether you were able to attend or not, we invite you to learn more about the Call to Action:
