Minnesota Rising is pleased to collaborate with Network Partners, emerging leader group organizations, to help cross-promote our parallel efforts to provide leadership development and community-building. In our Network Partner Notes, we highlight our 2013 Un/Conference Network Partners and their events in their own words!
TOYM … huh??
T is for Ten…
Ten community leaders between the ages of 18-40
years old will be honored this December at an annual recognition banquet hosted
by the Minnesota Jaycees. That’s only ten out of approximately 1.6
million Minnesotans who are eligible for the honor!
O is for
Outstanding…
This
recognition program is for those who go above and beyond in areas that impact
them and their communities. They excel. They stand out above the rest. They lead
by example. They give back. They are innovators. They understand that we are
stronger together. They are outstanding
in a at least three of the following areas: personal improvement, economic
innovation, social improvement, philanthropic contribution, voluntary or
governmental service, technological contribution, legal reform, cultural
achievement, academic leadership, athletic accomplishment, moral or religious
leadership, and influence of public opinion (e.g. media).
Y is for Young…
It’s critical we
recognize the importance and impact of today’s young people. Youth brings energy, vibrancy, innovation, and
willingness to break the mold. What is young? In this case, we mean 18-40 years
old (after all, 40 is the new 30!).
M is for
Minnesotans…
Minnesotans are known for our kindness, our innovative
companies, our agricultural background, and our strong commitment to service. Minnesotans
are from all ranges and walks of life. That is why we are excited to have a
program like this that honors leaders no matter where in the state they live or
what their background…because anyone can be making an exceptional difference in
their communities and our state!
Ten Outstanding Young Minnesotans (TOYM)
We will recognize
and honor their impact in the community and our state at a public banquet on
December 7, 2014. It’s an evening of inspiration and networking you don’t want
to miss!

Minnesota Jaycees
The Minnesota
Jaycees, a statewide, volunteer-run, membership organization that develops
young leaders through community involvement. As an
all-volunteer grassroots organization, the Minnesota Jaycees offers the
opportunity for a young person to find their own path in volunteering and
service. While a grassroots organization, we also provide a connection to
larger statewide, nationwide, and international impact. The Jaycees offers
connection to mentoring, true ownership over work and connection to something
larger than the individual-all things essential to the engagement of young
adults in volunteering.
