Coordinating support for children and youth

The YCB Action Team works to highlight, support, and coordinate one another’s efforts, advise YCB staff and review YCB strategy, and create partnerships for shared events, activities, and initiatives.

The YCB Action Team consists of youth-serving staff from all of its jurisdictional partners; the City of Minneapolis, Minneapolis Public Schools, Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board, and Hennepin County, including the County Attorney's office and the Public Libraries.

Recent efforts of the YCB Action Team include:

• Homework Help at the Library

• Youthline at the Minneapolis Parks & Recreation

• Schools: Changing School Options

• Minneapolis Employment and Training Program (initiatives for youth)

• The Blueprint for Action: Preventing Youth Violence in Minneapolis
