Grant authorized for Minnesota Alliance With Youth Promise Fellow program activities, and money appropriated.

HF 55 appropriates $1 million for each of the 2026 and 2027 fiscal years from the general fund to the Minnesota Alliance With Youth. This funding supports the "Promise Fellow" program, which partners with AmeriCorps, schools, and community organizations to provide attendance and academic engagement services for students. Key services include family outreach, academic support, mentoring, and connecting students to resources to help them return to and maintain consistent school attendance. The program directly affects students in Minnesota schools facing attendance challenges through these targeted interventions.
