III-4a Drop-in / outreach / basic needs: for over 50 years, the youthlink drop-in center has been a low barrier, inclusive refuge and community of safety for all young people ages 16-24 experiencing or at risk of homelessness in the geographic area surrounding downtown minneapolis and hennepin county. Nearly 3,000 unduplicated youth are served annually; disproportionately 90% are bipoc youth (74% identify as African American and 6% as native). Young people coming to youthlink access a nonjudgmental, youth-centered community where healthy, trusting relationships are created in authentic, meaningful ways to support young people to transition to safety, stability, and wellbeing. (continued on schedule o)drop-in / outreach / basic needs (continued from part III): young people are empowered to chart their journeys by believing in and using their own potential (not their current circumstances) to achieve stability, self-reliance, and well-being. Four components frame the services provided through the drop-in: street outreach, crisis/basic needs response, intervention services, and after care. Goals are to decrease length of time between homelessness, temporary shelter, and housing stabilization; increase access to basic needs followed by intervention designed to achieve stability, employment, and education; prevent precariously housed youth from becoming homeless for the first time; connect youth during outreach intervention to drop-in (crisis and basic need services), intervention (rapid rehousing, stability, intensive wrap-around case management), and aftercare (intentional after case services). The overarching goal is to make homelesnes rare, brief, and nonrecurring for youth in our community.as a barrier-free refuge and highly accessible service, often the first point of contact is street outreach. Youthlink uses a "peer" model of street outreach with lived experience youth assisting to establish trust and engagement with the most vulnerable young people (16-24) on the streets of minneapolis. At drop-in, crisis/basic needs response includes food, showers, clothes, washers/dryers, health care, respite space, computer lab, mail access, cell phones and charging stations, child advocacy assistance, bus passes and tokens. Intervention services include chemical/addiction interventions, mental health support, benefits and legal assistance, help to obtain vital documents (id's, birth certificates, social security card access, etc), education and employment resources, rapid rehousing, housing vouchers, housing and landlord advocacy, court advocacy, and access to the youth opportunity center network of more than a dozen other service partners all located under one roof. Youthlink voices of youth advisory council, comprised of lived experience youth, provides continuous input to leadership and programming, and mentoring to other youth in the drop-in.employment and education:youthlink operates as a responsive, adaptive, partnership-based organization. Our onsite career and education pathways program strengthens the services offered by engaging onsite partners with employment expertise, including goodwill easter seals and hired (career and employment agencys) to partner with youth to assess work readiness, determine career interests, build resumes, identify internships and job opportunities, and secure job placements for youth. Youthlink provides wraparound support services to youth while they are experiencing first jobs to support longterm success. Additionally, youthlink provides preparation for GED completion, guidance to stay in high school, transition assistance to enter post-secondary education, financial aid assistance, and other assistance for this process as well. Youth opportunity center:this is a collaborative network of multiservice community partners located onsite to reduce accessibility barriers and serve the diverse needs of young people (16-24) at risk of or experiencing homelessness. Youth accessing services at the drop-in have access to these partners and youthlink staff work with these partners and youth to co-create individualized plans to further ensure their long-term success. Services and resources include the aforementioned education and career resources, peer support groups, arts and recording opportunities, mentoring, and events like health fairs, employment and education fairs, and community-building celebrations.drop-in / extended hours: expert-facilitated peer support group from 6pm-8pm every wednesday evening for youth that have been victimzed or sexually exploited. The goal is to create a safe place for youth to process trauma and undertake their journey to healing.includes $567,869 in grants$2,731,250
III-4b Housing stability: access to housing stability resources is a priority for youth. This starts the first day a young person comes in contact with a staff person. Youthlink is one of the largest providers of supportive housing services in the twin cities. Youthlink provides supportive housing services to eligible youth at 42-unit nicollet square apartments, a partnership with beacon interfaith housing collaborative, and 46 beds at downtown view apartments, a partnership with project for pride in living. (continued on schedule o)(continued from part III) in addition, youthlink proves supportive housing services to youth in over 50 scattered site units annually. Eligible youth can lease a one-bedroom or an efficiency apartment while surrounded by an effective system of support. Support includes case management as well as access to the full scope of drop in and youth opportunity center services and resources, including mental and chemical health care, educational and career services, group support, and cultural activities.includes $579,194 in grants$1,737,848

O-1 Part VI, line 1aExecutive committee: the officers serve as the members of the executive committee. Except for the power to amend the articles of incorporation and bylaws, the executive committee has all the powers and authority of the board of directors in the intervals between meetings of the board of directors, and is subject to the direction and control of the full board.
O-2 Part VI, line 4The bylaws were updated to increase the numer of board seats.
O-3 Part VI, line 11bThe form 990 was reviewed by management and then reviewed and approved by the board of directors. Copies of the form 990 were provided to all board members prior to filing.
O-4 Part VI, line 12cThe conflict of interest policy covers officers, employees and members of the organization's board of directors. Covered individuals annually complete a disclosure form identifying any relationships, positions or circumstances in which the responsible person is involved that they believe could contribute to a conflict of interest arising. Prior to board or committee action on a contract or transaction involving a conflict of interest, a director or committee member having a conflict of interest and who is in attendance at the meeting shall disclose all facts material to the conflict of interest. Such disclosure shall be reflected in the minutes of the meeting. A person who has a conflict of interest shall not participate in or be permitted to hear the board's or committee's discussion of the matter except to disclose material facts and to respond to questions. Such person shall not attempt to exert his or her personal influence with respect to the matter, either at or outside the meeting.
O-5 Part VI, line 15aThe compensation of the executive director is determined using external market data (minnesota council of nonprofits compensation survey). A composite of three relevant cross-sections of data is considered: twin cities organizations, organizations with operating budgets between $2.0m and $5.0m, and human services/youth development organizations. The executive director's salary range midpoint is positioned in the 3rd quartile of the market data; range spread is 50%. The ceo's salary is determined based on annual performance and position in the salary range. This process was last undertaken in february, 2022 and included an outside assessment by a third party for the ceo's salary. All employees (including the executive director) are paid within a base salary system that includes salary ranges positioned in the 3rd quartile of the market (data from minnesota council of nonprofits compensation survey), performance ratings from a performance appraisal process, and a merit increase guide that indicates an increase percent based on the employee's performance and position in the salary range. The process was last performed in february 2026.

The names, titles, and financial information shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records. More
Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown. A filing can only be corrected by the organization filing an amended return with the IRS; the corrected information appears here at our next update.
We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing, and less than the filing contains. Our pages do not display home addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.
Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.
If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.
Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.
If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, contact the filing organization or the IRS directly.
