In this episode of St. Paul Youth Services’ (SPYS’) Rewriting the Rules®, listeners get a behind-the-scenes look at YouthPowerMN℠ Leadership Institute, where youth engage in a rigorous curriculum of Healing & Identity, Exploration & Innovation, and Policy Change. The episode takes you to the YouthPowerMN℠ hub, where youth leaders co-developed a Code of Conduct, learned about themselves and their community, and engaged in creative and critical thinking. The purpose is to Listen, learn, and Build in community and see that we’re more connected, stronger, and powerful together.   

 

About YouthPowerMN℠: St Paul Youth Services’ YouthPowerMN℠ Leadership Institute is 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 impact their lives. Our motto at YouthPowerMN℠ is kids changing systems versus systems changing kids. We believe that it is the most promising and proportionate approach to dismantling systemic racism, and that by engaging youth in shaping and promoting solutions, it is the largely untested yet effective and strategic approach to change.
