Landfall

The city of Landfall, Minnesota is a 300+ mobile home community situated on the western border of Washington County. FamilyMeans’ commitment to Landfall began in 1992 when we conducted a needs assessment to identify community issues and concerns. After learning that residents’ primary concerns were juvenile crime and the lack of youth programs, the following year FamilyMeans obtained funding to hire a community organizer who launched our first, and still continuing youth programs: the Landfall Investigation Station and Youth Bicycle Program. In 1997, the City of Landfall dedicated a portion of their new city hall to house the Investigation Station. In 1999, our programming expanded to serve middle and high school youth at the Landfall Teen Center, located in a remodeled city garage.Our work in nurturing youth earned Landfall a 3-time America’s Promise Alliance designation as one of the nation’s 100 Best Communities for Young People.

Today, nearly 100 Landfall youth find safe and supportive after-school and summer programming in the Landfall Investigation Station (K-5th grade) and Teen Center (6-12th grade). This free program is offered to any youth that live in the Landfall community. Please contact us at 651-439-4840 or FamilyMeans@FamilyMeans.org with questions.
