St. Paul Youth Services held its YouthPowerMN℠ Leadership Institute for 5 weeks in June and July of 2024. YouthPowerMN℠ offers an organizing hub where Black youth are compensated for their intellectual capital, lived experiences, and contributions to improve our communities. Youth can gather, reflect, express themselves, build skills, organize, and advocate for serious change on issues that affect their lives.

In 2022, YouthPoweredMediaMN® interviewed 12 Black Businesses from April-June in Florida, Minnesota and Nevada about their experiences, conversations, recommendations, and words of wisdom as Black Business Owners. We are thrilled to share with you these interviews with these SPYS Youth Champions!
