The Minnesota Humanities Center is a nonprofit organization based in St. Paul, Minnesota, that partners with individuals, organizations, and communities to bring humanities programming to residents across the state. Using storytelling as a catalyst, it develops, curates, and supports projects and programs that examine a range of subjects, with the aim of fostering a more connected and just society. Founded in 1971, the center operates independently but receives support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and also functions as a grantmaking entity as well as a full-service event venue housed in a historic building on St. Paul East Side. Its work targets Minnesotans and partner organizations seeking humanities-based programming and community engagement. The organization balances programmatic activity with grantmaking and venue operations, all aimed at expanding access to humanities and civic life. A notable recent development is the February 2026 launch of the Minnesota Youth Poet Laureate program, a statewide initiative recognizing young poets ages 13 to 19.
