YouthLink

Your support ensures YouthLink can continue to be a refuge for teens and young adults experiencing and at risk of homelessness. For more nearly 50 years, YouthLink has been here for young people. And we aren't stopping now. But we need your help!

Last year, YouthLink supported 2,924 young people during 24,534 visits. Demand has not slowed down. Youth visits are up 30%. Our housing programs are full. On many days, up to 150 youth are coming to the Drop-In Center for basic needs. 

We know YouthLink programs are effective, and we need your support to continue providing life-changing services. Your donation today will provide essential support such as, 

• Basic needs like hot meals, clothing, diapers, bus passes, shower/laundry facilities 
• Mental and chemical health services, and onsite medical clinic through Health Care for the Homeless 
• Eviction-prevention funds and advocacy 
• Supportive housing and rental assistance
• Street outreach that connects youth to vital resources and programs.

Your gift, every gift, will have a big impact right now! We hope you will partner with us to resource and support these amazing young people on their journeys to stability. Your gift will change lives.

YouthLink's Voices of Youth Advisory Council (VOYAC) is helping YouthLink create and promote our Give to the Max Day Campaign. Half of funds donated will go directly toward VOYAC initiatives and programs.

There is a 6.9% service charge for donating through givemn.org. This is a processing fee and YouthLink does not profit from this. If you would like to add this fee to your donated amount, 100% of your intended donation will go to YouthLink. Alternatively, you can donate via YouthLink's website.
