We are happy to introduce you to our newest Youth in Action Program Coordinator, Aimee! "Hello! My name is Aimee Bannwarth, and I am so excited to join St. Louis County as a Youth in Action Program Coordinator! Iā€™m originally from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and graduated with a bachelorā€™s in environmental studies from St. Benā€™s. The Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest Program/AmeriCorps took me to the West Coast, where I volunteered and then worked for a wildfire long-term recovery group as a volunteer coordinator and disaster case manager. After 7 years between Washington and Oregon, Iā€™m excited to be back in the Midwest. Iā€™m enjoying getting to know the community through Youth in Action, and in my free time, I love taking advantage of all of the outdoor activities the area has to offer! If you pass me on the ski trails this winter be sure to say hi!!"

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.
