The OneUP Youth Initiatives Collective brings communities together from across the Upper Peninsula to host regional Mind Trekkers Events. The U.P. depends on retaining young people with the interests and skills needed to support prospering communities and grow our economy. U.P. Michigan Works! is committed to ensuring youth have early exposure to career exploration that meets the current and future demands of U.P. businesses. We take a broad approach to “STEM exploration” since the skills needed for success go beyond technical intrigue in the OneUP Mind Trekkers Tour. In our inaugural OneUP Mind Trekkers Tour (2022-23), the events hosted over 2,000 middle school students in the U.P.

The Hidden Coast Festival serves Delta, Dickinson, Menominee, and Iron counties.
