Our programs serve youth in grades K-12 at Minneapolis Public School locations across the city to ensure all students have access to high quality programs. Community Education Youth Programs deliver a wide range of high-quality enrichment learning opportunities during out of school time (afterschool, release days, and summer). Community Education offerings support youth to develop strong peer relationships and foster new skills, through our intentional program design that fosters cultural identity, youth voice and leadership. In order to ensure that our high-quality enrichment classes are accessible to all families, Minneapolis Community Education is now offering fees on a sliding scale. Contact the Community Education Youth & Adult Programs coordinator at your school for more information.

ECFE offers classes, programs and services for families with young children from birth to kindergarten age.

For over 30 years, Teen Parent Services (formerly known as the M.I.C.E./TAPP Program) has been addressing the needs of young families in Minneapolis. Let us help connect you to services and explore options for childcare while you complete high school. Childcare funding will remain with your child, even after graduation. Knowing your child is receiving high quality care while you continue your education, or enter the workforce, provides the peace of mind all families deserve. At the discretion of Teen Parent Services, fee-based services may be available to a limited number of district staff at North High School TPS Childcare. These families receive the same high-quality care in our 4-Star Parent Aware Rated, NAEYC Accredited, DHS Licensed childcare center. For more information, please contact us!
