Our Mission: Fuel the Future with Youthset 🌟At Youthset, we believe every young person deserves a safe place to belong, a chance to lead, and opportunities that fuel their future. Since 2019, we’ve been creating spaces where teens can thrive — from Hopkins Jr. High and St. Louis Park Community Center, to church basements and even George Floyd Square during one of the most pivotal moments in our state’s history — all leading to the opening of our very own Teen Center in St. Cloud.Over the years, Youthset has served more than 1,000 youth and touched countless others through community events, mentorship, marches for justice, and feeding families with groceries and hot meals.Since opening our first dedicated Teen Center in St. Cloud in 2022, we’ve impacted over 500 teens directly and currently serve 150+ youth every year through ongoing programs — not including the hundreds more reached through our events and outreach. Across all programs, we’ve served over 300 youth annually, provided 200+ meals every week, and removed barriers like transportation so no teen is left out.Through initiatives like Teen Zone, Minnesota Hoopers, Forever Beautiful, Boys 2 Men, Young Chefs, CEO 365, TeenWork, and Teen Talk, we’ve witnessed lives transformed — teens who once struggled are now leading, and those who once felt unseen are now thriving.What makes Youthset special is that we’re not just another organization — we’re a movement. We show up when it matters most:During the George Floyd movement, we provided meals, transportation, and marched with over 10,000 voices for justice, even welcoming Jesse Jackson to Minnesota.During COVID, when the world shut down, we kept safe spaces open so teens could learn, laugh, and find hope.And every day since, we’ve worked side by side with schools, families, businesses, and communities to bridge the gap between where youth are and where they can go.Now, we’re building something even greater: a 14,000-square-foot Youthset Teen Center — complete with a gym, teen salon, STEM & gaming lab, art studio, recording space, commercial kitchens, and automotive garage. This will be more than a building — it will be a hub of opportunity, empowerment, and transformation — the first of many spaces designed to help teens in Minnesota and beyond.Your gift makes this possible. Every dollar fuels meals, mentorship, safe spaces, and dreams. Every donation — whether one-time or monthly — is an investment in the future of our youth, and by extension, the future of our community.Together, we can ensure the work doesn’t just continue — it grows stronger than ever. 💜✨👉 Donate now to Fuel the Future and help us build a movement where every teen has the chance to rise.Our other donation handles:Cashapp: $YouthsetMNVenmo: @youthsetPayPal: @youthset
