Youthset

This Give to the Max Day, we’re asking our community to stand with us.

Youthset is facing tough challenges — with federal funding cuts and a government shutdown slowing payments — but our doors remain open every day for teens who need us most.

Your support ensures:

• Teens have a hot meal and a safe place after school.

• Young leaders receive mentorship, stipends, and skill-building opportunities.

• Families in crisis know there’s a community that cares.

Every dollar helps us keep our Teen Center open, our programs alive, and our youth inspired to rise above.

Together, we can make sure no teen gets left behind — because when youth set their path, they set the future.

 About Youthset

Since 2019, Youthset has been about creating space, real space for teens to be seen, heard, and loved.What started with me trying to find a space within a space has turned into something way bigger than I could’ve imagined.

We’ve served over 1,000 teens across the Twin Cities and Central Minnesota, offering mentorship, meals, job training, and a safe place to belong when life feels heavy. We’ve been in borrowed rooms, church basements, community centers, wherever teens needed us most.

And now, we’re getting ready to renovate our very own 15,000-square-foot building. A place that will finally reflect the size of our mission — a home for youth to grow, heal, and lead.

Every brick of this journey has been built by faith, hard work, and the belief that our teens deserve better.Your support this Give to the Max Day keeps that dream alive, keeping our doors open, our lights on, and our hearts ready for the next generation.

“When youth set their path, they set the future.”
