Minneapolis Public Schools

Join Jackie, our Outdoor Learning Coordinator, We will use our Outdoor Classroom and Mathews Park to develop a deeper understanding of the urban nature around us. Activities might include seed collection, harvesting vegetables, insect hunting and identification, and meadow restoration. We will also learn to care for our chickens 

In order to ensure that our high-quality enrichment classes are accessible to all families, Minneapolis Community Education is now offering fees on a sliding scale. We're moving to a sliding scale model for program fees so our youth programs can be financially sustainable and more equitable. The different prices reflect the average cost of offering a class as well as discounted options and options that help us cover our administrative costs. Fees cover instructor pay, class supplies, program materials, marketing and scholarships. Families are asked to pick the price that they are able to pay. As always, we will continue to offer full scholarships upon request. When families participate as they are able, in all levels of our sliding scale, the whole program becomes self-sustaining. Thank you for your consideration as you sign up for youth programs!
