Citywide Youth Campaign Hopes to Attract 200 Un-Enrolled Young People Back to School this Fall

Minneapolis Public Schools and the Minneapolis Youth Coordinating Board have joined forces to raise public awareness about the dropout crisis and graduation gap in Minneapolis and enlist the entire community’s help to resolve it.

“We Want You Back” invites un-enrolled young people to come back to school, complete their credits and get their diploma. The program’s ambitious goal is to attract back 200 youth and put them on a path where they can be successful.

This summer, Second Harvest Heartland and other sponsoring organizations have launched a program allowing Minnesota kids 1-18 to eat for free.

No matter whether you are a parent or not, all citizens in this city have a responsibility to create conditions in which our children can thrive.
