Minneapolis, MN - Neighbors for More Neighbors - Open Streets Festival Youth Engagement Event focused on creating housing options for all with a chalk art activity for youth! YEP! was asked to partner with this organization to bring awareness to housing choices in the Minneapolis neighborhood during a street fair. YEP! shared a booth with Neighbors for More Neighbors and asked youth walking by to imagine what type of neighborhood they wanted to see and had to choose different types of housing from single-family homes, to condos, to apartments, to townhomes, to rowhomes, and then draw it on the street using chalk. We asked to have a certain amount of each type of housing in the neighborhood explaining that a healthy neighbor has lots of housing choices!


"Neighbors for More Neighbors, and me in particular, really appreciated having your help yesterday. Your youth engagement skills definitely increased our neighborhood's rate of growth and made it a heck of a lot more exciting place to live." ~David Wade, Neighbor for More Neighbors Director
