About Us
The Minneapolis Youth Coordinating Board (YCB) works with the City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minneapolis Public Schools, and Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board to develop goals, strategies, policies and action for the well-being of Minneapolis children and young people.
We envision a Minneapolis where every child is valued, supported, and safe — where no young person goes hungry or homeless, and all can grow, thrive, and contribute to their community
