Youthprise originally designed ourNewsash to share our work, and the stories oour grantees, community members and the youththat work with us. But at Youthprise, just gettingyou all o this inormation isnt enough - we dontjust want to tell you what we do, we want to showyou. We dont want to just talk about authenticyouth engagement strategies, we want to modelthese strategies. The publication in your hands isone example o this modeling.
We are thrilled to present a unique Youthprise Newsash publication co-createdwith youth and adults. Modeling authenticyouth/adult partnerships, we strategized,developed content and designed the publicationtogether. The process provided an opportunityor youth to engage in authentic, transerableproessional experience, while making a meaningulcontribution to the work we do here at Youthprise.It also gave adult sta insight into the words, wisdomand hopes o the young people at Youthprise.
The team o young people involved inthe creation o this Newsash is composed o ourlatest cohort o Youth Innovators. The Innovatorprogram, piloted last summer, was designed incollaboration with one o our ounding youthboard members. This past spring we welcomedour second cohort to the oce. The YouthInnovators program is a way to integrate youngpeople into all aspects o our work and actualizeour mission and vision to help all Minnesotayouth succeed.
The Innovators eatured in the Newdelve into topics like youth-led research,legislative advocacy driven by youth voicespersonal experiences with employment aneven creative writing that reects on themeaning o being a young woman in MinneOur communications team provided editorguidance that was not intended to transormInnovators writing, but to provide the suppthey needed to tell their stories.
At Youthprise we understand thatstorytelling is a powerul and intentional wlit up the voices o young people, to underour diverse communities, and to create real
meaningul change. In addition to the writtcontent, Youthprise teamed up with a graphdesign student to create the new layout thaenvisioned in collaboration withthe Innovators on sta.
It is evident that this yearscohortYouth Innovators have provided a proounddiversity o voices, experiences, outlooks anvisions or the uture. Moving orward we wcontinue to work with our Innovators to deveditorial content and design our NewsashThrough this youth/adult partnership we hshare just a glimpse o the innovations thathappening at Youthprise.

come rom--however that day we were exploring this
idea through the specifc lens o race and ethnicity.
We were learning about the drastically dierent
experiences o each o us who have come to work
together rom such drastically dierent worlds.
While we were sharing our dierences o experience,
we were also fnding a common thread which many
o us shared: We are mixed.
Mixed, Bi-racial, Multi-racial: Being borno two parents o dissimilar races or ethnicities,
consequently creating a child/children o multiple
races, cultures and stories. I have ound that there
are a number o youth who work or Youthprise
who come rom multiple stories, multiple cultures,
and thereore, seem to be more willing to have a
conversation about their double consciousness, their
multiple worlds. It is not always the case that people
are more than willing to talk about the inuences
o race, and so this was a unique experience. As this
is also my reality--having been raised by a white
mother and a ather o color--this environment that
embraced the willingness to talk about race was a
surprise to me, and it became a haven!
The discomort surrounding discussionso race is ound, in my experience, with people o allraces, o all levels o social status, and I sometimes
wonder i this discomort has existed or long, or i
it is just a modern illness. Whether or not we are
willing to admit it, or willing to try to change it, race
has been a long-standing protagonist in the story o
our country, and in the story o Minnesota. Today we
ace issues, statistics, and disparities o wealth and
poverty, o health, and o education that are more
extreme, and yet more subtle, than ever beore. We
may not call racism by its name anymore, but what
i we take the time to realize that today we call it
by the name o justice, by the natural selection o
capitalistic competition, or even that we c
inherent level o intelligence in a person,
school system seems to believe?
These are the questions that must banswered. Our community HAS to become
environment where these questions are exa
where we have the courage to ask these que
where we have the relationships with each o
to explore these questions together, rom m
viewpoints, with respect and sincerity. I am
grateul to work in a place where the people
am around are willing and eager to have th
conversations, where that eagerness aects
willingness o those around us who may no
amiliar with looking at the eects o race i
own lives. But it also saddens me to know th
is a unique experience, and that this is not t
that most o the spaces I live in operate. Ho
our communities ever change, heal, and gr
reuse to see the injustices that we ourselve
perpetuating by not addressing them?
It may discomort people to ask mthe man that I encountered at Hennepin an
what our race is, what our story is, or why w
way we look. Some people may eel that welive in a world where that does not even hav
be addressed; where we all just accept who
without having to inquire why one looks d
But my hope or the world is to live in a com
where we can openly ask each other o our
o our stories, without assumptions and jud
but rather with sincere curiosity and intere
dierent the world would be i our coloring
texture had nothing to do with the value o
and instead brought us together in convers
about who we are, and where we come rom
honoring o our stories.

Im walking down the s treet,on Hennepinand 5th, and my sandals slip on the sand thats
scattered on the sidewalk. In the hot sun, my tank top
shows of my tanned white skin, and my light scar
accents my blue eyes. In this moment a young man
is walking down the street and notices me as I alter.
While he is walking with his bright green eyes, and
natural blond hair, our eyes meet, just or a moment,
and in crossing one anothers path, we nod.
Looking back, what most onlookers saw that daywas probably two white people walking past eachother on a Minneapolis street corner. Maybe they
noticed the individuals check one another out, but
all in all, most people would think nothing o this
inconsequential encounter.
For these two people involved, however,this was a moment o Seeing and being Seen. I youd
looked a little closer, you may have noticed a ew
oddities about each o us. You may have noticed
that this mans hair was a little thicker than most
white peoples hair, and though blond, it curled
true. That his nose, though white, had a wide at
nature, under those little brown reckles. You may
have noticed my ull lips that came rom my black
grandmother, and my dark eyelashes that were
supposedly given to me by my native grandmother.
You may have Seen, i you had looked a little closer,
two people with a rich history o inter-racial love,
and hundreds o years o struggle, who happen to
have received the white skin chromosome this time
around. These two perceivably white individuals
were in act two people o color, and the nod which
they exchanged had nothing to do with attraction,
and had everything to do with a recognition o lived
and historical experience.
I have not ound many places (though Ihave actively sought them out) where people are
comortable talking about the inuences o race on
our lives; a place where we are able to ask conusing
questions without blame and begrudging contention.
It seems to be a very common thing in Minnesota orpeople to not eel comortable when I bring up race,
when I start to talk about how societal issues are
inuenced by race, or how people are inuenced by
institutionalized racism. I people are uncomortable
talking about a specifc topic, they probably do not
have much practice with it. And i people do not
have practice talking about such an inuential and
integral piece o our social well-being, then how are
we ever going to be able to talk about growing out o
the insidious racial oppression that holds our entire
community in its grip?
The other day a ew o us were sitting aroundat the Minneapolis oce o Youthprise. As most
o us were Youth Innovators around the table stillgetting to know each other, we began to have a
discussion. It was a conversation involving where
we come rom, and our experiences in the world.
Generally this is a common theme o people who
are becoming acquainted--describing where you

The title or this reportis more than just a clever play
on words, its a direct quote
rom my mind this morning as I
woke up at 2 AM to go to work.
Now as I sit at my desk with a
dwindling glass o water and
burning eyes I think it may be a good time to reect on
why I eel this way.
Ive oten wondered how Ill respond ten ortwenty years rom now when someone asks me, How
did you make it through the recession?Good question.
As a general rule I learn things the hard way.Id love to say that I regularly reach out to people or
wisdom but the honest truth is that I tend to skip over
the vast majority o advice I get in avor o experimenting.
Some o my mothers gems over the years:things rarely work out according to plan; worry about
what you can control; mom is always right. I laughtoday when I consider how arrogant I was in response
to these obvious revelations. But I cant deny the
power o blind confdence. Some would even say its
endearing. My mother probably wouldnt though.
I ended up taking jobs as a late night janitorand as an early morning stocker in a convenience
store. Working overnight at least three days a week
while taking classes took its toll but like any revolutionary
I attacked my days with enthusiasm and passion.
#ThestruggleIn addition I had private school tuitionto worry about. While on the one hand I want to
advance my business skill-set through various
internships (several unpaid) oered through my
school, I consider it irresponsible to put that ahead o
my own fnancial independence.
This is how I ound mysel applying orone o the Youth Innovator positions at Youthprise
in late February. Originally I saw it as an easy way to
build my resume while making extra cash working
with youth in and out like clockwork. I laugh now
when I think about my reaction to the people I worked
with, the space I worked in and my frst week. The our
other innovators I came in with were just as conused
as I was. Not as much about what we were doing or
why we were doing it, but why us? While we do oer a
valuable point o view as mostly minority youth, that
was overshadowed by Youthprise central mission,
which is to help youth thrive.
I still remember meetingwith Libby Rau,the Director o Youth Engagement here when she
asked me, What is your dream career, and what can
we do to help you get there?
Goosebumps The Youth Innovator program is ar
rom a fnished product; it is constantly evolving and
changing according to the needs o dierent youth
who participate. Its hard not to compare it with
internships in the or-proft sector and see the stark
dierences. At Youthprise, we as Innovators are reliedupon to not only ask questions but provide solutions
and work towards implementing them. Seeing how
excited sta members get when we tell them about
our ongoing and potential projects is as encouraging
today as it was my frst day here.
I theres one thing I can take rom mytime here to pass on to others, its that valuing your
younger employees and interns thoughts is not only
benefcial to them, but it can actually be benefcial
or your organization. This is something that both
leadership and sta need to think about strategically.
Is the age o gopher internships over? Probably not.
But training a new generation o proessionals to be
creative and supportive o each other isnt just useulproessionally; its an innovation that can change the world.

One important piece o legislationthat puts youth at the center o policy discussion
is HF 630 the Minnesota Youth Council bill.
The Minnesota Youth Council Committee was
established to provide advice and recommendations
to the legislature and the governor on issues
aecting youth and serve as a liaison or youth
around the state to the legislature and the governor.
Fewer than a dozen states have adopted a bridge-
building measure similar to this. On March 13,
334 young people gathered at the Capitol to hold
91 meetings with legislators on the importance o
the youth council, among other issues that aect
young people. Evidently, these young advocates
made an impression. The Minnesota Youth Council
Committee will meet at least twice a year during
the regular session o the legislature to select
bills in the House o Representatives and Senate
or consideration or a public hearing beore the
committee; propose youth legislation; provide
advisory opinions to the legislature on bills heard
beore the committee; and prepare a youth omnibus
bill. As Sarah Dixon, the President and CEO o the
Minnesota Alliance With Youth, said,
Youth voice is now the law!
Another momentous act o progresswas enacted in Minnesota in the orm o the
Prosperity Act, otherwise known as the Dream
Act. The Prosperity Act provides that children o
immigrants who came to Minnesota without legal
status qualiy or both in-state tuition and state
fnancial aid programs provided they attended a
Minnesota high school or at least three years and
graduated. Minnesota is now one o 16 states to oer
in-state tuition to undocumented students and one o
just our to oer them fnancial aid. This achievement
would not have been possible without the h

As a young person whohas worked in politics, I see how relevantlegislation and advocacy is in the lives o young
people. Minnesota made history in the 2013 legislative
session with accomplishments made in the areas o
human rights, health care, and youth services. Youth
in Minnesota will now see opportunities to ensure the
saety o their peers, voice their opinions in uture
policy, and be universally eligible to receive fnancial
aid or higher education. These victories, however, did
not come about organically. Behind every successul
bill exists hours o hard work driven by the passions o
citizens, especially young people.
The Medical Amnesty Bill was an entirely youth-driven piece o legislation that promotes saety or
those under legal drinking age. HF946/SF744, provides
that underage possession or consumption o alcohol
immunity would be provided or a person contacting
911 to seek assistance or another. Previously, state
laws discouraged intoxicated minors rom seeking help
in the case o medical assistance or to report a sexual
assault, or ear o state prosecution. The University o
Minnesota Student Association largely spearheaded the
push or this legislation, encouraging other students
around the state to contact their l egislators, write
letters to the editor in their local papers, and circulate
a petition via social media. This youth-led, grassrootsmovement proved to be a success. The bill passed with
an overwhelming 124-8 majority in the House, and went
on to secure a 51-10 approval in the Senate.

December, so we expect we will put out a good amount
o solid work beore then. Research topics include the
prison-industrial complex, mixed-race experience, a grantee
evaluation index, and the Minnesota Student Survey.
Linda Tuhiwai Smith, an indigenous scholarrom New Zealand, has pointed out that or many
Indigenous peoples, research is a dirty word. Many
youth, particularly youth o Color, eel similarly.
Too oten, we have attended sterilized ocus groups
organized by a White adult researcher who proceeds
to extract as much inormation as possible while
giving no commitment to reciprocity or relationship.
Oten, we leave with two things: a cheap git card
and the unsettling eeling that comes when someone,
or something when speaking o the very large
organizations that generally do this work,
attempts to take our stories.
This is not to say that all researchorganizations do this, or that their results do
not sometimes lead to positive change or the
participating groups. But this is about power, and
how the mainstream research feld uses its power to
impose certain processes on young people without
our consent. Thus whatever the outcomes, the processitsel violates our sel-determination.
All o these realities point to theimportance o our youth-led research team. Leading
this team has been lie-giving. We have practiced how
to do un ocus groups, reviewed literature, and held
many intense conversations. We have met adults with
years o experience in the research feld and youth who
hate research. Going orward, we expect to continue
doing these while also doing serious work, so that both
our communities and the youth engagement felds get
to see and engage with our work.

In April, a group o our Youth Innovatorsand I began the process o imagining and designing
what a relationship-based, youth-led research teamlooks like. We spent
the frst two months
identiying our values,
sharing experiences,
getting to know the
research feld, and
laying out our strategy
or developing and
practicing a youth-centric
research methodology.
All o us agreed that we
must bring our whole
selves to this work;
we reject the myth o
objectivity. Furthermore,we agreed that we bring
a distinct and critical
perspective that, paired with practice, has real
potential to shit the out-o-school time feld
and impact our communities.
In all o our work, we begin with relationship;that is, we seek to build authentic relationships with the
youth we are engaging. Thus in the ocus groups wehave organized, we have eaten together,
played games, and held lively peer-to-
peer conversations on issues that we
care about. Because we do not expect
others to share what we will not, we
share parts o our own experiences in
every session; reciprocity is primary.
As we move orward, we areworking out the balance o working
within the ramework o a nonproft
while also holding strong ties to our
communities. We assist Youthprise
in its internal evaluation, collaborate
with other organizations in theyouth engagement feld, and do our
own research on areas o personal
interest. It is a struggle to keep up with all o these
responsibilities, so going orward we are seeking
advice on task management and a team inrastructure.
This cohort o Innovators will be together through

This article is developed from testimony that Neesegave in support of the Minnesota Youth Councils billthat was passed in 2013.
As a young woman in Minnesota, I didnt havethe best experience at school. When I was in elementary
school, teachers told my mom that I should be in
Special Ed and that I had a very bad case o ADHD. It
even got to the point where one o my teachers told me
personally that I would not make it past junior high.
Those experiences weighed heavily on me, even ater
graduating rom junior high. I think it is mostly because
I wasnt doing anything else with my time other than
ocusing on school that was my main activity.
When I joined the Minnesota YouthCouncil (MYC), a statewide network o youthand adult partners led by the Minnesota Alliance withYouth, my participation gave me a boost o confdence.At MYC I was a part o the youth philanthropycommittee where we surveyed youth and developedsolutions to three issues that they identifed: bullying,gang violence and drug and alcohol abuse. One solutionis the development o a documentary on drug and alcoholabuse and the other is the disbursement o grants toorganizations nominated by members on the MYC.
Being a part o MYC made me realize that I cando a lot more with my lie than just getting good grades
or volunteering I can be a part o the change I want
to see in the world. And now,
instead o being in Special Ed,
Im in a growing percentage
o Minnesota youth that are
making an impact within
Minnesota communities.
Ater completing myfrst year on MYC I was
oered a position on the
Youthprise Youth Innovators team. I gladly
and was immediately welcomed onto the te
open arms. This opportunity was crucially i
to me because it meant I would be able to c
and fnish my work I started on the Minnes
Council. Youthprise unded the youth phila
initiative at MYC and since beginning at Yo
am continuing my work with the grants MY
and continuing to work on the documentar
to be completed in September 2013.
Being involved with MYC and the MAlliance with Youth was a chance not only t
my lie but also the ones around me. Its a c
break down barriers between youth and govIt gives youth the voice we all crave, and th
practice we all need to make a dierence. J

Youth ResearchFrom theInside Out
From the MinnesotaYouth Council toYouthprise: YouthVoice and Change
Working at Youthprise as a researcher hasbeen an incredible experience in the months I have
been here. The bonds we have created with the rest
o the Youth Innovators and sta have been amazing.
Sharing visions, goals, and morals with people who
only have age range in common has been beautiul and
organic. We come rom dierent walks o lie, dierent
backgrounds and liestyles. But working together and
individually to learn and grow our skills as young
people is something I will take with me and will use in
experiences yet to come.
One o the challenges we have aced as a youth-led research team is the lack o training or adults to
meaningully partner with youth. There were times
when we ventured out into the community, seekingelders in the research feld and were let eeling
demeaned, used, and patronized. It seemed that our
research elders do not have all the tools they need to
encourage youth innovation. There is an enthusiasm
around incorporating youth voice, but a lack o tools to
help build youth/adult partnerships.
It doesnt surprise me that when we wereintroduced to the board o an organization, I and two
other youth didnt get taken seriously. Hi my name
is DeArreon,one o us says. The reply? Hi Gary, its
nice to meet you. Beore the board member could
be corrected, the conversation moved on. When
asked about our roles at the
organization, my team members
responded leaving me to speak
last. But beore opening my
mouth, I am spoken or by an
adult, Youre just pretty,the
man says to me with a smile
and then the conversation was
over with handshakes and nice
to meet yous. Inside I wasnt comortable with what
happened. It was clear to me that it wasnt as simple
as getting another persons name wrong. It wasnt a
meaningless joke about my looks. These werent small
miscommunications. They are representative o the
paradigm that young people constantly ace: we are not
taken seriously, we are judged. The assumption is made
that we are just another group o youth that dont know
enough or arent experienced enough to do things that
matter, to be leaders. At Youthprise we are deying these
assumptions by conducting research that produces valuable
inormation. As Youth Innovators we are leaders.
The eel in the Youthprise ofce and the eelout in the real world are very dierent. In the oce
our new ways o conducting research are accepted,and encouraged. We are the Youth Innovators, not just
interns. We have the reedom to try new things, and
explore new possibilities. And not surprisingly, we have
created new ways o doing research that are successul.
We have created energy among other youth that still
hasnt died. An energy that has carried on to those same
young people and gotten them excited to continue
helping us in our journey. We are not a team that gives
up, we continue to move orward and change the ways
research is done. We will lead the way or other young
people who ace similar challenges and keep sharing
our work with the elders. Respect is something to be
earned, not given. And we are earning ours day by day.
