MPI Fall Forum 2026 - Youth in a Changing World: Future Under Pressure

  • Norway House 913 East Franklin Avenue Minneapolis, MN, 55404 United States (map)

What does it mean to grow up today? Young people are navigating a rapidly changing world filled with new opportunities—and unprecedented pressures.

Join us for an engaging conversation exploring the challenges facing today’s youth, from social media and technology to mental health, identity, relationships, education, and uncertainty about the future. Together, we’ll look beyond the headlines to better understand what young people are experiencing and how families, educators, communities, and leaders can support them.

Come listen, learn, and be part of the conversation about how we can help the next generation thrive.
