Our Merch Store Has Launched!

As tensions rise in our fair city, we continue to shine a bright and radiant light on hope. Cuz that's our dealio!

The Real Minneapolis cultivates hope, health, and healing. We respond to the immediate needs of our community by thoughtfully listening, and the current need: Our fearless and brave mini-warriors -- distance learners! (A global pandemic and civil unrest shan't not keep them down.)

Behold, we have created a unique and comfortable space for the most mighty of academic warriors: Hope Youth Center, a few blocks from George Floyd Square. We go WAY past the traditional pod model by providing not just technology, tutors and tools, but also delicious meals and snacks, art and music therapy, enrichment activities, and so much more. Gotta keep their bodies moving and creative minds stimulated! 95% of students are BIPOC and on free or reduced lunch, and about 60% have academic accommodations.

So stay awhile. Buy a groovy HopeHoodie to stave off those winter blues. Heck, buy 10 for all your TikTok buddies.  And don't forget a masque to wear to your next Zoom masquerade ball. 

All proceeds go directly to support HYC.
