The Youth Legacy Foundation is participating in Give to the Max on Thursday! We are using the following fundraising page for this campaign, since we had a technical issue with our GiveMN page. Please click here to make a gift to support our work across the community, and help expand this platform for empowerment of youth with disabilities. With your involvement, we can do more! Watch our PSA by clicking here...

Some of our accomplishments in the past year include: 

Youth leaders attended and represented at events, such as a conference and gala

Youth leader co-hosts the Disability Viewpoints television show, which won awards

Completed, purchased, and released our public service announcement (PSA), which was a collaborative project with CTV-15 and the University of MN's Research and Training Center on Community Living

 

We are very proud of youth leader, Hope Hoffman, who recently spoke at the Family Voices of Minnesota gala. She started her own organization: "Camogurl." Check out her video on her website by clicking here. She's brilliant and powerful!

 

We connect with organizations, schools, and initiatives to promote empowerment and inclusion of youth with disabilities. 

For example: We will be assisting with the Job Skills Competition, a multi-district event, on December 4. Students will participate in activities to become employment ready, such as online job applications, interviewing, and more. 

Recently, we joined community members and leaders at the Green Central School in Minneapolis for 100 Strong Who Care - a program designed to prepare Minneapolis Public School students for higher education and career opportunities. 

We are involved with the Arc Greater Twin Cities Self-Advocacy Committee and Partnership Resources, Inc. (PRI)'s ReelAbilities Film Festival, as well as the Minneapolis Community Transition Interagency Committee (MCTIC). We have connections with Gillette Children's Speciality Healthcare, Minnesota Association for Children's Mental Health (MACMH), and the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI-MN), and many other groups. We promote their good work and opportunities, and share our messages around inclusion and empowerment of youth with disabilities. Through collaboration, we can better serve the youth in our community. Stay tuned for more updates!
