Minneapolis Beacons:
Engaging Youth as Leaders and Learners Minneapolis Beacons engages youth as leaders and learners by transforming schools into active youth centers afterschool and in the summer, providing free educational, recreational, and leadership development activities for youth and their families.
The Minneapolis Beacons Network is a collaborative initiative between schools, community, and families with the mission to improve academic, social, and lifework development of youth in low-income communities.
The Minneapolis Beacons Network partners the Minneapolis Public Schools with four of the largest Youth Development organizations in the Twin Cities: The YMCA of Metropolitan Minneapolis, The YWCA of Minneapolis, The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities, and Minneapolis Schools Community Education.
