YouthCARE conducts three primary youth development programs for Minneapolis and St. Paul youth, 7-18 years old: Camp Sunrise, YouthLEAD and the Young Women’s Mentoring Program. All three programs operate year round and are designed to reach urban youth with high quality programming during the critical out-of-school-time hours. YouthCARE’s youth development work is focused in the areas of youth employment, education (academic, STEM, environmental, outdoor and cultural), mentoring and providing positive cultural, social and recreational activities that bring together youth from diverse ethnic, cultural and racial backgrounds with caring and supportive adults.
Camp Sunrise, established in 1974 on the St. Croix River near Rush City, MN, is a year-round outdoor education program focused on bringing together youth, 13-18 years old, from diverse ethnic, cultural and racial backgrounds, to live and work in an outdoor multicultural community. This unique program helps youth to build friendships across cultures as well as to benefit from the employment training, mentoring relationship, teambuilding, outdoor and environmental education, and service projects that Camp Sunrise offers.
