Move Forward MN

We are so grateful to the team for coming together today to assemble outreach packs for Move Forward.

These packs are a vital part of our outreach work. They include basic need items and snacks that our team can provide directly to youth while on shift. Having these supplies on hand allows us to meet young people where they are, reduce harm, and make sure they have access to essentials during times of instability.

This kind of support makes a real difference. It helps ensure our team can respond in the moment and reminds young people that their community cares about them.

Thank you, Copeland Group, for investing your time and care into supporting youth in our community. Partnerships like this help make our work possible. 💙

Office Closure – Friday, January 23

On Friday, January 23, Move Forward will be closed as we stand in solidarity with our community, labor unions, schools, and faith communities in observance of ICE OUT MN: Day of Truth and Freedom.

For 36 years, Move Forward has worked to break down barriers for youth and families—standing with those most impacted and alongside the frontline partners who continue to provide safety, care, and stability every day.

We remain committed—now more than ever—to continuing this work and fighting even harder for those who need us most.
