Empowering Youth. Shaping Futures.

At Prairie Youth, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to dream, grow, and thrive. As a community-driven organization, we are dedicated to creating safe, inclusive, and supportive spaces where youth can discover their potential and take confident steps toward a brighter future.

Our mission is clear: to uplift, empower, and guide young people—particularly at-risk youth and LGBTQ+ youth—through meaningful programs, mentorship, and education. Together, we are building tomorrow’s leaders, fostering confidence, and transforming lives.

Our Programs

Mentorship Programs
We provide one-on-one and group mentorship opportunities that offer guidance, encouragement, and real-world advice. Mentors work closely with participants to help set goals, build confidence, and inspire growth while navigating personal and professional challenges.

Education & Skill-Building
Our workshops and courses focus on developing essential life skills, leadership qualities, and career readiness. Programs cover topics like financial literacy, communication, and interview preparation, with a special emphasis on creative expression, entrepreneurship, and personal development.

Safe Spaces for LGBTQ+ Youth
We are proud to offer inclusive, affirming programs and support networks tailored to the unique needs of LGBTQ+ youth. Prairie Youth provides spaces where young people can feel seen, heard, and celebrated while gaining access to valuable resources. Our events and workshops foster community, identity, and empowerment.

Support for At-Risk Youth
We offer resources and outreach programs for young people facing challenging circumstances, including housing insecurity, family issues, and mental health struggles. Through access to counseling, peer support, and life skills training, we help at-risk youth overcome barriers and move toward success.

Leadership Development
Youth at Prairie Youth have the opportunity to develop leadership skills through hands-on experiences such as community service projects, public speaking opportunities, and collaborative initiatives. These programs empower youth to become confident leaders within their communities.

Our Vision

We envision a world where every young person—regardless of their background, identity, or circumstances—has the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. At Prairie Youth, we are committed to breaking down barriers, fostering inclusivity, and building a stronger, more connected future.
