Ultimate Success Insight

Empower Youth. Strengthen Community. Invest in Tomorrow.

At USI, we’re committed to transforming the lives of youth from under­­represented, immigrant and refugee backgrounds in Central Minnesota. Through culturally responsive mentoring, tutoring, career-exploration and entrepreneurship programs, we guide students toward success—not just in school, but in life and community leadership.

Why Your Gift Matters Many young people in our region face unique barriers—adapting to new languages and cultures, navigating unfamiliar systems, lacking role models and resources. USI fills that gap by providing:

• One-on-one mentorship and homework help that improves academic outcomes and self-confidence.

• Career readiness training: interview prep, resume workshops, job‐shadowing and paid internships.

• Entrepreneurship and small-business coaching that gives young people the tools to shape their own futures.

• A safe, culturally-grounded space where youth can belong, heal, learn and lead.

Your Impact By donating to USI on GiveMN, you help support:

• More mentors matched with youth who are ready to be seen, heard and guided toward their potential.

• Programs led by and for the communities we serve—St. Cloud’s Eastern African, immigrant, and refugee youth.

• Opportunities for real-world experience that turn dreams into earnings, ideas into businesses, and hope into leadership.

• The ripple effect of empowered youth becoming confident, employed, community-minded adults who uplift others.
