  • MY (Mankato Youth) Place was joined by staff, board and committee members, and community advocates at their new location at 1315 Stadium Road to announce their capital fundraising campaign.

    MY Place Mankato’s Mission

    MY Place, which opened in October of 2018, serves area youth from Kindergarten to 8th grade when not in school. MY Place differentiates itself by offering its after-school and summer programs free of charge. This eliminates barriers and gives all kids the opportunity to participate. They also provide transportation, meals, health supplies, and academic programming. MY Place is committed to providing a nurturing environment that empowers youth to build the confidence, knowledge, and skills needed to reach their full potential.

    MY Place provides youth in our community:

    • A safe and fun place to spend time and participate in positive programs, an alternative to the streets or being home alone.
    • Education support to improve academic performance and graduation rates.
    • Help to build new skills to raise their belief that they can succeed and receive recognition for accomplishments.
    • The opportunity to build encouraging and ongoing relationships with caring adults and connections to new friends in a positive environment.
    • A place that reinforces a sense of belonging, empowerment, personal accountability, civility, and civic responsibility.

    In their current location, they serve 91 children, leaving over 100 children still in need of services. At their new location, they will be able to serve 200 children. APX Construction Group is honored to have been selected as the General Contractor for the MY Place expansion. The facility at 1315 Stadium Road offers over 16,000 square feet of space plus the addition of a new gym space.

    MY Place Capital Campaign

    The capital fundraising campaign, MY New Place, kicked off with the announcement of an initial $750,000 donation by Taylor Corporation and an additional $750,000 match after the campaign raised that same amount. Donations can be made here. MY Place hopes to be in its newly renovated location by the start of the fall school year.
