The Mission of DinoMights is to equip our urban youth to develop Physical, Academic, Social and Spiritual excellence. At DinoMights we build long-term relationships with at-risk youth in South Minneapolis to provide the support every child needs to grow into a self-assured, competent adult.
Our programs include hockey teams and training, tutoring and academic support, mentoring, service projects, and spiritual development opportunities. We connect with youth in the Phillips, Central and Powderhorn Park neighborhoods in Minneapolis from their early elementary years through high school graduation.
