Open Doors For Youth Inaugural Gala

This year marks a milestone we’re incredibly proud of – 10 years of empowering youth – and we invite you to celebrate with us at our Inaugural Gala, Thursday, March 5th from 5:30-9:00 pm at Rockwoods in Otsego, MN.

For the past decade, Open Doors for Youth has been a place of safety, connection, and possibility for young people experiencing homelessness and housing instability. What began as a grassroots vision has grown into a community where youth ages 16–24 find caring adults, essential resources, and the support they need to move toward stability and hope.

On March 5, 2026, we’ll gather to reflect on where we’ve been, honor the resilience of the young people we serve, and look ahead to the future we are building together. We’ll also take time to celebrate the generous supporters and community partners who have made this work possible every step of the way. We’ll share powerful stories, create space to connect with others who care deeply about youth, and invite you to help fuel the next chapter of this work, ensuring even more young people have a safe place to land, trusted adults in their corner, and real pathways forward.



10 Years of Empowering Youth is more than a celebration — it’s a reminder that none of this happens alone.

Your belief, generosity, and presence have helped open doors for hundreds of young people, and we would be honored to celebrate alongside you.
