Check out this message from YouthLink's Voices of Youth Advisory Council about why they're so passionate about this work, and why you should support YouthLink:

Your support ensures YouthLink can continue to be a refuge for teens and young adults experiencing and at risk of homelessness. For more than 45 years, YouthLink has been here for young people on their journeys to safety, stability, and wellness. And we aren't stopping now. But we need your help!

Last year, YouthLink supported 1,945 young people during 17,850 visits. Visits to our drop-in center continue to rise. As of October 1, we are at 106% of visits compared to the same time last year. 

YouthLink is on track to serve twice as many youth in 2024 compared to 2021. More youth visiting means more hot meals, more clothes and diapers distributed, more youth seeking mental health services, more rental assistance, and more showers and laundry (higher utility costs). More of ALL of the vital resources that youth have come to expect to find at YouthLink. 

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.

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.
