Welcome to the Office of Youth Development

Youth Services includes a core set of employment and training programs for economically disadvantaged and at-risk youth. Three programs (WIA Youth, Minnesota Youth Program and Youthbuild) form a critical strategy in preparing Minnesota 's neediest youth to succeed in a global economy. Customers are low-income and at-risk youth who lack academic and “applied” skills considered critical for current and future workplace needs.

In addition to general information about programs offered through the Office of Youth Development, a significant amount of resource material, policy information and technical documents are available for practitioners and others interested in learning more about these programs.
