OUR ISSUE FOCUS IS TO STRENGTHEN AND EMPOWER VULNERABLE YOUTH. WE HAVE DIRECT PROGRAMMING THROUGH THE IEMPOWER YOUTH PROGRAM WHERE WE PROACTIVELY WORK WITH YOUTH GRADES K-12 TO EMPOWER THEM, BUILD THEIR SELF-CONFIDENCE AND SELF-RELIANCE AS WELL AS LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND FRIENDSHIPS. THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE SINCE 2011 AND HAS GROWN FOR NINE YEARS. THE YOUTH ARE INTROVERTS/VULNERABLE AND ARE CHOSEN BY COUNSELORS/SOCIAL WORKERS TO JOIN THE PROGRAM SO THAT WE CAN HELP THEM FIND THEIR VOICES AND BUILD THEIR DECISION-MAKING SKILLS. THE FACILITATORS OF EACH GROUP ARE EDUCATORS FROM THE SCHOOLS IN OUR SERVICE AREA OF BIG LAKE, ELK RIVER, OTSEGO, PRINCETON AND ZIMMERMAN. THIS PAST YEAR WE SERVED 204 YOUTH!ANOTHER DIRECT IMPACT PROGRAM WE HAVE IS COMMUNITY CONNECT (PREVIOUSLY PROJECT HOMELESS CONNECT) WHERE WE HAVE AN EVENT AT THE ELK RIVER HIGH SCHOOL ON MEA THURSDAY TO SERVE PEOPLE IN NEED.

THIS YEAR WE HAD 204 PEOPLE ATTEND AND PEOPLE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESOURCES AND SERVICES.
