As with past seasons, enjoy our Season 4 Recap (and reflection) of St. Paul Youth Services’ (SPYS’) Rewriting the Rules®. The season began by sharing the perspectives of our high school principals, and continued by creating a front row seat for listeners of SPYS’ YouthPowerMN℠ Leadership Institute. With this season, we shine a light on the legacies of creativity, strength and innovation sustaining those of us who belong to Black communities, Indigenous Communities, and Communities of Color.

In this conversation, recorded at the end of the summer session, youth reflect on their growth throughout the 16-day program. The young people highlighted the supportive environment provided by SPYS and the transformative impact on their personal lives and collective development as youth building power. For this episode, we’re taking a panel approach and mirroring a Sunday Dinner conversation. The purpose is to listen, learn, and build in community and see that we’re more connected, stronger, and powerful together.
