Youth Resources Welcomes Veteran Scoutmaster Thomas S. Bourke to Its Board of Directors

Minneapolis, MN — Oct 24th, 2025 — Youth Resources is proud to announce the appointment of Thomas S. Bourke to its Board of Directors. With over 25 years of dedicated service as a Scoutmaster and a lifetime of leadership and mentorship, Tom brings a wealth of experience and a deep passion for empowering youth.

Tom has spent decades shaping the lives of young people through Scouting, coaching, and community service. His commitment to leadership, inclusion, and hands-on mentorship has earned him multiple honors, including the Silver Beaver Award, one of Scouting’s highest recognitions for distinguished service to youth.

Beyond Scouting, Tom is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, a licensed contractor, and the founder of several successful construction companies. He has combined his professional expertise with a heart for service—mentoring youth in skilled trades, leading community projects, and ensuring that disadvantaged young people have access to outdoor adventures and leadership opportunities.

“Tom embodies the spirit of servant leadership,” said Executive Director, Rev Victor Martinez, of Youth Resources. “His decades of experience guiding and inspiring young people will strengthen our mission to equip the next generation of leaders in North Minneapolis.”

As a new board member, Tom will help shape Youth Resources’ strategic direction, supporting initiatives that provide housing, training, and opportunities for youth workers and community mentors.

For more than three decades, Tom Bourke has lived by the values of integrity, service, and community—values that align perfectly with the mission of Youth Resources.
