Breaking Down Barriers.

Who We Are

Better Futures Minnesota embraces (primarily Black) men living in chronic poverty with histories of persistent unemployment, untreated mental illness, addiction, incarceration, and homelessness who are locked out of our society.

By providing the men with meaningful work experience and connections, we are building their foundation for success so that they can provide for their children, families, and community. We also serve fathers and their children together through our TwoGen model, which seeks to disrupt generational cycles.

Why We Need Your Help

We are so thrilled to share our Give to the Max Day 2022 campaign: A New Pathway Forward. Our campaign, is focused on breaking down barriers for a vulnerable population of men who have been locked out of society, living in chronic poverty, with persistent unemployment, histories of incarceration, untreated mental illness, addiction, and homelessness. Every day, Better Futures Minnesota helps these men create a new pathway forward by providing them with second chances, on-the-job training, and support services. 

At Better Futures Minnesota, the men we serve obtain valuable trainings and certifications such as, OSHA 10, OSHA Fall Protection, Forklift Certification, along with others. The men gain meaningful work experience and earn a livable wage working in our four business lines. 

Your support allows us to do this critical work, and to continue to provide much needed services to these men. Together, we are helping to build their foundation for success so that they can provide for their families, and community. 

Thank you for supporting Better Futures and its participants, we couldn’t do it without you!
