This Minnesota House bill (H.F. No. 1511) proposes appropriating $5 million in fiscal year 2026 to the state's commissioner of veterans affairs for a veteran mentorship program aimed at Black youth. The program's goal is to prevent youth violence by employing veterans as mentors and helping Black youth explore career opportunities in the armed forces.

The funding is allocated as follows:
- $1 million for youth engagement activities
- $1.5 million for salaries for veterans mentoring youth
- $2 million for community outreach and education for Black youth
- $500,000 for administering and operating the program

This appropriation is a one-time allocation.
