The urgency is undeniable— each night in Minnesota, more than 1,315 unaccompanied youth are without shelter*. In 2025, YouthLink guided 2,924 young people toward safety, stability, and self-determination. Over the past five years, the demand for YouthLink’s services has grown exponentially. This makes your support— and this event— more critical than ever in helping us sustain and expand our life-changing impact.

Join YouthLink for Stand Up for Youth at The Metropolitan Ballroom on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, and be part of something powerful! Together, we can provide essential resources and create lasting change for youth experiencing and at risk of homelessness in Minnesota.

This pay-what-you-can breakfast (suggested donation: $30 per ticket) is more than just a meal—it’s a chance to engage deeply with YouthLink's mission, gather with like-minded supporters, and learn concrete ways to help local youth. There will also be an opportunity to make a gift at the event.

Let's unite to raise funds and awareness, as we stand up for youth in the Twin Cities community.
