Last week, Youth in Action partnered with Hibbing Public Library, UMN Extension St. Louis County 4-H, Friends of the Hibbing Public Library, and Northland Foundation to create an afternoon of wonder and wizardry — ⚡The Wizarding World of the Hibbing Public Library! ⚡ Over 400 wizards, witches, and Muggles came together to celebrate the magic of Harry Potter, participating in trivia, an escape room, pumpkin catapults, wand making, and more! Thank you to everyone who shared their time, creativity, imagination, and heart to make this enchanting event possible.

What is YIA?

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

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.
