YouthLink

Transforming Lives of Young People in Minneapolis

YouthLink is dedicated to supporting young individuals aged 16-24 who are experiencing homelessness in downtown Minneapolis and the surrounding Twin Cities area. With over 45 years of experience, YouthLink connects these young people with essential resources and support, including basic needs like hot showers and warm meals, employment assistance, educational goals, mental and physical health resources, and supportive housing. The Youth Opportunity Center serves as a collaborative hub, bringing together community partners to provide comprehensive services in one location, effectively breaking down barriers to access.

Making a Lasting Impact

On any given night in Minnesota, approximately 3,000 young people face homelessness. However, with the help of YouthLink and generous supporters, these youth can overcome their challenges and build brighter futures. In the past year alone, YouthLink served 1,945 youth, facilitated 17,850 visits to the Drop-In Center, and connected 313 youth with mental and chemical health therapists.

Why Your Donation Matters

Your support is crucial in making a difference for young people in need. Community donations account for nearly half of YouthLink's budget, enabling the organization to continue its vital work. Whether through financial contributions, volunteering, or spreading the word, every effort counts!
