Youth Activities

Neighborhood HealthSource hosts several activities designed to engage youth in topics such as health and violence prevention.

West African Youth Healing Team

Neighborhood HealthSource has partnered with the Organization of Liberians in Minnesota to facilitate the West African Youth Healing Team. A paid internship for youth ages 14-24 to learn about trauma and prepare community activities to promote healing and violence prevention. The internship pays a stipend of up to $800 and includes meeting once a week, from November 2022 to March 2023. The team will learn about trauma including planning and leading community activities to promote healing, ending with a final healing project.
