What is Youth Space?

Youth Space is a new weekly youth program at the Minnehaha Free Space (3747 Minnehaha Avenue), set to begin in February of 2013.

Every other week will feature ‘playshops’ where youth can explore different topics and skills like musical instrument and paper mache puppet making, hip hop and spoken word, and indigenous storytelling.

The ‘in-between’ weeks will feature art-making activities and informal social time for youth and families.

Youth Space will provide snacks, learning opportunities, community, and fun!

Who’s Organizing It

Volunteers at the Minnehaha Free Space have a wealth of collective experience working with youth and have access to many resources across the Twin Cities to bring in talented facilitators and teachers from youth-centered community organizations and groups. In an effort to make MFS fit youth and families in the Longfellow and broader community, we’re offering Youth Space as a way to share and build on these resources together.

Youth Space is supported in part financially by a grant from the Longfellow Community Council.

Getting to Youth Space

When Youth Space begins in February, we will have a number of Metro Transit Go-To Cards available for youth and families who can use assistance getting to the program.

And, the program itself is FREE of cost!

Interested in participating?

Interested families/youth should call 612-217-0578 or email the Free Space at radspacetc@gmail.com.

More detailed information on the programming schedule and registration will be available in mid to late January.
