Way to Grow continues to reach families, build networks of services, and ensure that every child in our community is prepared to start school on track, but there is still work to be done. As we look ahead, we’re embarking on an expansion journey to deepen our ties in Minneapolis and expand our reach even further into the suburbs. Will you join us?

Steve Yoakam & Shawn Judge
Shawn and Steve, both professional actors, moved to Minneapolis where acting opportunities were plentiful in theater, film, and television. Steve explains, “I thrive on live audiences. When you’re tired after many performances, you see a five-year-old child beaming in the front row, and you do it for them,” he says. “That’s why you’re there.”
That same love for children fuels their support for early education and Way to Grow. “I love Way to Grow’s approach,” says Shawn. “Family Educators go into homes and work with parents and children and also reflect their culture. It gets results.” Adds Steve, “I like that Way to Grow starts as early as possible with children right in the home. It is a ‘boots on the ground’ effort and community action at its finest.”
Thank you!
