Haley Vien (she/her), Youth and Community Program Specialist
City of Saint Paul
Haley.Vien@ci.stpaul.mn.us
Experiencing the power of community that helped raise her, Haley grew up wanting to share the power of community with others. And she’s been doing that in Saint Paul since 2020! She began as an intern supporting young people in the Saint Paul Youth Commission (SPYC), continued as a Right Track Job Coach, and came on full time in fall of 2022 with SPYC and Youth on Boards (YOB). Through her work with SPYC and YOB, she loves seeing young people have the space to dream big, stand up, speak out, lead and run with their ideas!
In high school, participating in a college access program provided a range of opportunities that fostered Haley’s interest in how society works and how decisions impact community. It is what led her to Macalester College where she graduated (as a first-generation college student) with a bachelor's in American Studies. In her downtime, Haley can be found on her Nintendo switch playing games like Animal Crossing and Breath of the Wild.
