The Minneapolis Youth Coordinating Board

MYC Oath of Office 2019-20

The Minneapolis Youth Congress (MYC) has been one of the most important youth organizations for handful of years. They help with all sorts of initiatives around the city and we recently welcomed the class of 2019-20 with a special celebration. We invited a handful of special guests to speak about the importance of having a youth voice & presence in the community, welcomed family members to celebrate, and brought together youth supporters to fill City Hall with love. You'll find a full photo gallery of the 2019-20 Oath of Office celebration to the left.

A SUPER November Hawthorne Huddle

The Youth Coordinating Board (YCB) works with the HAWTHORNE NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL (HNC) to put on a monthly neighborhood meeting called the Hawthorne Huddle. Every month we invite different speakers to talk about topics important to the community. The November gathering was a SUPER-Huddle because both superintendent Al Bangoura & Ed Graff of the MINNEAPOLIS PARK & RECREATION BOARD & MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS, respectively, came to share their vision. To the right you will see the photos we snapped of that wonderful morning. The conversation was also recorded as a podcast and we'll have that for once it's produced. If you would like to attend a future Hawthorne Huddle please reach out to Min.Lee@MinneapolisMN.gov.
