The Minnesota Foundation for Student Organizations is carefully monitoring the evolution of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Minnesota. The situation surrounding the outbreak is rapidly evolving and recommendations are changing as new information becomes available. We understand there is a great deal of anxiety surrounding the transmission of the virus and community spread. We all must take the necessary steps to ensure the safety of our most vulnerable populations.

With the advent of Minnesota school closures and the recommendations of both the Minnesota Department of Health and the CDC guidelines, Minnesota’s Career and Technical Student Organizations have cancelled any “in-person” events, including competitive event conferences.

Some of our CTSOs have elected instead to hold virtual conferences, including HOSA and FFA. Please check their websites for more information.

We will continue to support and assist our student organizations through these unprecedented times.

Please follow the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and the CDC recommendations.

On February 25th the MFSO hosted the much-anticipated event: CTSO Day at the Capitol. All of Minnesota’s Career and Technical Student Organizations were represented! As the best ambassadors to career and technical education, our student leaders met with their State Representatives and Senators to discuss the impact career and technical student organizations has had on their education and career path.

This day isn’t possible without a lot of help- so a big thank you to our MFSO Board Members, CTSO Executive Directors, CTE Educators and Administrators that make this day possible.
