Serving together. Building pride. Creating change.
Youth Empowerment Network (YEN MN 24) offers Community Projects and Volunteer Opportunities for youth and young adults across Minnesota. These programs encourage participants to give back while building responsibility, leadership, and pride in the communities they live in.
Through hands-on service projects, youth and young adults learn the value of teamwork, accountability, and caring for their neighborhoods. Participants see firsthand that their actions matter and that they can create positive change at any stage of life.
Activities may include community clean-ups, event support, neighborhood improvement projects, and other service opportunities throughout Minnesota. Mentors guide participants during each project, reinforcing leadership skills, positive behavior, and community values.
What participants gain:
-
Teamwork and collaboration skills
-
Leadership and responsibility
-
Community pride and service experience
-
Positive mentorship and encouragement
Who it’s for:
Youth and young adults who want to give back, develop leadership skills, and strengthen their communities through service.
By engaging youth and young adults in meaningful community projects, we help build confident leaders who contribute to stronger, healthier Minnesota neighborhoods.
