Mission
Youthprise is a nonprofit intermediary that invests in the future of Minnesota by investing in youth. Youthprise's mission is to increase equity with and for Minnesota's indigenous, low-income, and racially diverse youth.
Program accomplishments
- Advancing Ownership & Wealth through 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. Youthprise works with stakeholders across sectors to equip young people with the economic tools to thrive. In 2025, Youthprise awarded grants to community partners through our Opportunity Reboot program and other initiatives that work to connect young people with career pathways in high-demand industries; provide wraparound support such as mentoring and referrals for basic needs; and opportunities to earn industry-recognized credentials in areas and disciplines such as OSHA 10, NCCER Core Crafts in construction, Certified Nursing Assistant, and Personal Care Assistant. In 2025, Youthprise invested more than $4.3 million in Economic Opportunity grants and strategic investments.Expenses $5,301,142 · grants $4,328,190
- Promoting Healing through Health and Safety: Youthprise supports programs and initiatives that promote the health and safety of young people. We champion work that promotes the healing of our youth and their right to health and safety. 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 2025 Youthprise supported 42 Nutrition sites across the Twin Cities metro region, distributing 185,233 meals and snacks to school-age children and youth. We also distributed over 1,000 boxes with groceries and meal kits to Twin Cities families to address increased need for meals during a time of instability regarding federal meal programs and increased ICE activity. Additionally, we continued to support 25 Twin Cities-based organizations through a cohort-based grantmaking and technical assistance initiative focused on non-clinical mental health support for youth, and we added a new cohort of 12 organizations to expand this work. We also co-launched an initiative focused on integrating practices that improve belonging, well-being, meaning and purpose within organizations that serve young people statewide. Youthprise invested more than $2.4 million in grants and strategic investments in this area in 2025.Expenses $2,934,899 · grants $2,423,344 · revenue $131,719
- Building Power through Learning and Leadership: We invest in learning opportunities that build knowledge, power, and agency among our youth; we support and amplify youth as leaders by building networks, developmental opportunities, and shifting policy/laws. Youthprise promotes the learning, leadership, and social-emotional development of youth by investing in programs that position young people as decision-makers. Through these initiatives, youth lead, shape solutions, and amplify their voices in reimagining and redesigning the systems that affect them. We seek to shift how programs interact with youth and support programs that engage youth in leadership and governance, a practice 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 2025, Youthprise supported organizations and activities that center young people in decisions impacting them through training and technical assistance, as well as financial investment. Among our activities in this area was an investment in a cross-state initiative to co-design afterschool systems in six locations across the country. In 2025, Youthprise made just over $1 million in grants and strategic investments to support Learning and Leadership activities.Expenses $2,573,425 · grants $1,021,013
