The legislative bill S.F. No. 869 proposes to allocate funds to support youth development programs through Big Brothers Big Sisters in Minnesota. Specifically, the bill plans to provide $500,000 in each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027. These funds will be used for programs that assist disadvantaged youth aged 12 to 21 by offering them skills for job seeking, connections to job training, educational opportunities, and mentorship focused on career exploration. The targeted areas for these programs include the Greater Twin Cities, central Minnesota, and southern Minnesota. The funding for these initiatives will come from the state's workforce development fund and will be managed by the commissioner of employment and economic development. This is intended as a one-time funding provision.
