Commissioner Young has worked hard to ensure that the diverse residents of Minneapolis have parks facilities that meet their needs and provide programming opportunities to celebrate their cultures.

MPRB recently approved moving forward on a mult-cultural community center in East Phillips. The revised building design will provide, per the community’s already established priorities a gathering place for all cultures and encourage a shared sense of community. It will offer recreational, educational and healthy development opportunities for all ages, as well as culturally appropriate programs and activities emphasizing child and youth development and leadership skills.

Commissioner Young is proud to have been an early advocate for the Center and to have collaborated with the many groups of people who call East Phillips home in advancing the Center's construction.
