Our mission is to inspire underserved youth and young adults, helping them recognize their inner talents and gain confidence in their ability to shape a positive future for themselves and their community.

4. During the year under review, we re-enforced our social media activities and awareness campaigns. Statistics revealed taht we have reached more than 155,000 individuals through program campaigns and activities on our different social media platforms sharing information on family violence, opiods, shelter, homeless services etc. 5. In 2023, we lauched another social media flagship service through a platform called "minnesota blessing accelerated case management service". This program has a membership of over 24,000 persons across minnesota. During 2023, it received more than 5,000 requests for emergency services from different members of communities and has fulfilled more than 3,000 of the requests received. The program was structured to assist people with some basic needs such as food, minimal financial aid, housing, mentorships, and case management. 6. Covid-19 vaccination outreach: in 2023, we provided covid 19 vaccines and other covid related information to over 50,000 people through our social media network and outreach services. These interventions helped our local communities access services that trememdously transformed a significant portion of the youthful population in the minneapolis area and part adjacent. We are poised to improving our service delivery in the year 2024 and reaching out to a greater number of our local population.
