Mankato Youth Place serves youth in kindergarten through 8th grade during non-school hours. There is no cost to participate, which means that ALL kids have access to after school services. Through the generosity of the community and volunteers like you, we are able to give kids a safe space to learn, grow, and flourish no matter their socioeconomic status. We hope you consider joining our team and helping us make a difference. Volunteers at Mankato Youth Place are paid in six figures: S-M-I-L-E-S.
