Celebrating Our MYC Senior Cohort

Simply put, the Minneapolis Youth Congress (MYC) are the go to group when entities in Minneapolis need youth help & input. The MYC have already shaped Minneapolis and will continue to do so in the future. Every year we welcome a new cohort of special youth, but we also have to say bye to another. Therefore, we wanted to celebrate our seniors by creating these highlight cards. Congrats to our senior class! Get out there and change the world!

Meet A Youth Worker Video

Coordinating youth work in Minneapolis can take many different shapes & forms. One way we decided to improve coordination was to introduce people in the field to one another. We'll continue to host events, but we also decided to highlight a youth worker via a monthly video. This is our first ever video featuring Ramiro Vazquez Jr.
