Youth 1st is a Minnesota Non-Profit, founded in March of 2010.
We put Youth 1st by connecting Conduct, Character and Community to youth activity programs.
We should do our best to give families an atmosphere where their children have the opportunity to participate in activity programs that encourage them to be active, build relationships and develop into the best version of themselves.

Model Best Conduct & Encourage Positive Actions.
How we act as adults, sets the example for our kids. They learn by watching us. The Youth 1st Team Awards program recognizes good sportsmanship and postive conduct from players, coaches, parents and fans. We have recognized 290 youth teams in 80 different MN communities by presenting them with a Youth 1st Team Award. At youth levels, coaches, officials and parents should partner to ensure the kids have a positive experience.

Promote a Perspective of Development vs. Performance.
Hosting Conduct 1st Environments during competitions (leagues or tournaments) and integrating Character 1st presentations into preseason kick off meetings with parents and coaches help prioritize the development perspective. Youth 1st Team Award recognition ceremonies and Media Campaigns support the connection of Conduct and Character through personal and digital communications.

Help unify Community Leadership.
We help unify community leadership in support of Conduct to Character integration into all youth activity programs. Community programs have an ethical and moral responsibility to serve all participants in the program. Participation in youth sports and activity programs offer a number of physical, social, emotional and cognitive benefits when young people have access and inclusion in quality experiences.
“It’s all about building healthy communities. If we are going to ensure that all kids have the chance to grow up fit and strong, we must, among other efforts, eliminate the barriers to sports participation. These include: lack of neighborhood recreation spaces, inadequate coaching, rising costs and exclusionary league and team policies, excessive time demands on families, safety concerns, cultural norms and too few sport options to accommodate the interests of all. Indeed, we ignore, push aside, and fail to develop the human (and athletic) potential of most children.”
