Youth in action (YIA) promotes youth leadership to its highest level and asks youth to make a difference in the lives of others.

 

 

       

What is YIA?

 
           

 Youth in Action (or YIA) is a St. Louis County program that promotes leadership by getting students involved in school and community projects that make a positive impact.     

   Youth in Action opportunities are available in Iron Range and 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. Our goal is to bring positive change to St. Louis County through partnerships with students, schools, community organizations and businesses and our in-school advisors.

conference planning

Here is a glimpse into a brainstorming session with "Team Bear", the USA U25 National Female Curling Team. They, along with other youth leaders, will be shaping how our opening evening on February 21st will go! They will discuss how uncertainty and the unknown has impacted them and shaped their Olympic trials. They will also give insight into how they build teamwork and how their messages of positivity, open-mindedness and body conditioning can give you support and hope.
