We all benefit from a strong civic culture where young people understand our system of government and how to use their voice to take action on the issues that matter to them.

There are many ways that you can get involved to ensure CYV programming remains strong and accessible to all young people in Minnesota. 

Donate

Contributions go towards scholarships and conference meal assistance for students with demonstrated financial need, program expansion to increase delivery to traditionally underserved populations or areas of the state, or new program development that responds to changes in our communities. 

Volunteer

Our annual conferences, programs, and events rely on the time, talents, and expertise of a dedicated team of volunteers. Whether or not you have previously attended an event, we would love to have you be part of the team! 

Join the Community Council

The Community Council is composed of highly motivated and engaged program alumni, parents, donors, and friends from a variety of industries who want to ensure the long-term success of the Center for Youth Voice.  

Join the Center for Youth Voice Alumni Network 

CYV program alumni are local, regional, and global leaders making a positive impact in their communities, professions, and industries. Whether you participated in a CYV program last year, 5 years ago, or 15 years ago, we want to connect!
