We’re turning up the volume for young people.
Join us.
When young people are given the opportunity to be heard and invested in, their futures get louder.
This year, we’re asking our community to Amplify—amplify young people’s voices, amplify their opportunities, and amplify what’s possible after Wildflyer.
November is National Homeless Youth Awareness Month, and kicks off early giving for Give to the Max Day, Minnesota's biggest giving day of the year. AMPLIFY is a makers market and festival promoting education about youth homelessness while raising critical funds to support our programs during a challenging year for nonprofits.
MUSIC
TWO OF CUPS
Two of Cups is a local Minneapolis folk duo that includes Devin Kelly and Sarah McCaffrey Ritchie, both singer-songwriters, multi-instrumentalists, music educators and moms. Their collaboration includes original songs and covers alike, as they find true joy in honoring beautiful music by inspirational artists such as Brandi Carlile, Joni Mitchell, Nickel Creek, the Staves and so many more.
LOLA RED + FRIENDS
After playing in Lavender Daughter & Beach Crisis together for years, these two no-binary heartthrobs are breaking away and making stripped down music for Lola Red’s upcoming solo record. These lesbian songs about horses and deadly nightshade will make you want to let out a roar. With two singles out for streaming, the group is debuting a brand new single at the end of this month.
