Dream. Ignite. Grow. Those three words drive the mission of Project Success — a Minneapolis nonprofit founded 30 years ago. 

The program helps students connect to a purpose, discover who they are and find out what they want from life after high school.  

Coming up at 9 a.m. on Monday, MPR News host Angela Davis talks with the founder and leader of Project Success about how they create opportunities for young people to have experiences that build skills and confidence.  

And we want to hear from you.

Have you or someone you know participated in Project Success programs? What questions do you have about how to help kids dream and connect to a purpose?
