Youth First

 
   

Youth First is a partnership of many dedicated individuals from Coon Rapids working together to support families.  Youth First's mission is every Coon Rapids resident will be responsible and support each other so that our youth and community as a whole will flourish.

Meetings are held on the second Thursday each month at 7:30 a.m. during the school year. Bagels, coffee and juice provided. We meet at the Coon Rapids Civic Center on 11155 Robinson Drive, Coon Rapids 55433. This is an opportunity for anyone interested to share ideas and connect with others in the community.
