Invite a Speaker Inviting a staff member or youth speaker to speak to your group is a great way to introduce others to the work we do.

Invite a speaker from YouthLink to your event. We have staff members and young people who speak on a wide range of topics including:

  • General YouthLink and Youth Opportunity Center information and the state of homeless youth in Minnesota
  • The importance of basic needs access in a young person’s journey
  • The importance of education and employment pathways for young people experiencing homelessness
  • Housing options and barriers for young people
  • The importance of mental and physical health and wellness care for youth
  • Youth stories and examples of barriers faced and successes achieved

If you’re interested in learning more about hosting a speaker in your office, school, or faith community, please contact us at youthlink@youthlinkmn.org

At YouthLink, we offer young people a safe and supportive environment full of resources to help them build their independence.

“I think I’ve used just about everything here—the clothing closet, hygiene supplies, GED tutoring and vouchers, the health clinic, the Internet. It’s all in one place, and the people here know me. They really care about me.”
