Youth in Action  opportunities are available on the Iron Range for students in grades 7-12 and in the Duluth area schools for students in grades 9-12. It is free to join and everybody is welcome! 


Our MISSION is to maintain and support youth development and community programs and projects. We work to promote public service values to better engage young adults with their  communities.
