About YouthPowerMN℠: St Paul Youth Services’ YouthPowerMN℠ Leadership Institute offers an organizing hub where Black youth are compensated for their intellectual capital, lived experiences, and contributions to improve our communities. Youth can gather, reflect, express themselves, build skills, organize, and advocate for serious change on issues that impact their lives. Our motto at YouthPowerMN℠ is kids changing systems versus systems changing kids. We believe that it is the most promising and proportionate approach to dismantling systemic racism, and that by engaging youth in shaping and promoting solutions, it is the largely untested yet effective and strategic approach to change.
We invite you to share thoughts, ideas, and recommendations for the Rewriting the Rules℠ podcast that advance our progress towards our mission AND we welcome inquiries about the many ways our programs & services continue rewriting the rules of youth engagement.
