Bolder Options youth mentoring program grant funding provided, and money appropriated.

This bill allocates $175,000 from the state's general fund to support a pilot youth mentoring program called Bolder Options. The program will serve young people aged 12 to 21 in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Rochester by introducing them to public service career paths, including opportunities with the Minnesota Army National Guard. The funding is designated as a one-time appropriation for fiscal year 2027 and is managed by the commissioner of public safety.
