With a new year upon us, we are looking forward to another year of supporting young people in our community.  2019 was an incredible year at Project Legacy, filled with inspiring stories of hope and legacy — like high school and college graduations, new jobs, and countless youth finding community within our doors. 

Some of last year’s highlights included:

  • $15,000 in tuition assistance offered to first generation college students.

  • $21,000 in shelter housing assistance offered to formerly homeless youth.

  • $5,000 in orthodontic, medical and dental care for youth without options for coverage.

  • Hosted over 156 Healing Circles with our young people.

  • Celebrated 12 college graduations.

  • Provided support and resources to 38 college students and youth of color.

  • ...and so much more!

None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generous support of grantmakers, partnering businesses and generous donors like you. 

Our 2019 program update is now available for you to read, which includes outcomes and key data on the young people we served this year. While our youth come from diverse backgrounds, all have a shared vision for their lives — a desire to overcome past trauma, a commitment to changing past behaviors, and a dedication to building a legacy for their future.

Thank you for helping us impact countless lives of youth of color in Southeast Minnesota. The reach of your generosity extends far beyond Project Legacy and deep into the lives of our young people and the generations to come. 

Thank you for your continued support as we continue serving youth in 2020.
