Program 1 [2020]
Health and Safety: Youthprise supports programs and initiatives that promote the health and safety of young people. In addition to meeting basic food needs through our Nutrition Program, we work with community-based organizations to link healthy lifestyles with good nutrition. We take a holistic approach to health and safety and advance intervention strategies that prevent the criminalization of youth, which can pose a threat to public safety. In 2020, Youthprise supported 45 Nutrition sites across the Twin Cities and served over 1,422,157 meals and snacks to an estimated 12,000 young people ages six to 18. Additionally, we support a number of initiatives that seek to reduce disparities in the juvenile justice system and contact between non-violent youth and law enforcement.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$5.7MProgram 2 [2020]
Learning and Leadership: Youthprise promotes the learning, leadership, and social-emotional development of youth. Programs and initiatives supported in this area expose youth to arts and culture, enrichment activities, technical assistance, and youth leadership opportunities. We seek to shift how programs interact with youth and support programs that engage youth in leadership and governance, a practice that we model at Youthprise. We embed young people across all areas of our organization, and we have a goal of 50% representation of youth on our Board of Directors. In 2020 our Minnesota Afterschool Advance (MAA) program scaled up to help low-income students in 23 cities across Minnesota. Designed to help low-income students afford after-school programming, MAA pivoted during the pandemic to help distribute over 1,200 Chromebooks to assist with distance learning at no out-of-pocket cost to families. It also funded tutoring and other academic opportunities to mitigate COVID-related learning loss.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$2.5MProgram 3 [2020]
Economic Opportunity: Youthprise creates opportunities for economic prosperity by supporting programs and initiatives that build workforce skills, promote youth entrepreneurship, and expose youth to career pathways. We work with a range of stakeholders across sectors to equip young people with the economic tools to thrive. In 2020, Youthprise joined a group of Minnesota high school students in suing the state of Minnesota over being denied unemployment benefits after they lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and on December 1, 2020, the Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled that high school students in Minnesota can receive unemployment payments under the CARES Act.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.5M
