Sharing our deep gratitude for the Marsh McLennan Agency (Marsh McLennan Agency) and their continued support of Youth Frontiers through their Charity Challenge.

Yesterday, nearly two dozen leaders in our community attended a Geometry of a Leader Retreat in downtown Minneapolis. As one attendee beautifully put it, "I LOVED every minute of the session." The energy and enthusiasm in the room was inspiring. We explored the principles of Presence, Humility and Courage, sparking thought-provoking conversations and self-reflection. Thank you for making this retreat memorable!

Last week we celebrated the retirement of one of Youth Frontiers' most cherished employees, Bill Brandt, Accounting & Finance Manager, by playing one of his favorite activities together - pickle ball! From all of us at YF, thank you, Bill, for your compassion, your kindness, your hard work and dedication to our mission in the big things you accomplished but also in the everyday things. We wish you the best in your retirement and you will be missed!
