The Youth Conservation Commission was to provide and conduct a program looking toward the prevention of juvenile and youth delinquency and to provide and administer preventive and corrective training for persons committed to the commission.

The Youth Conservation Commission, established in 1947, was put under the jurisdiction of the Corrections Department as its Division of Youth Conservation in 1959 (Laws of Minnesota 1959, chapter 263), and was abolished in 1973 (Laws of Minn. 1973, chap. 654, sec. 1, subd. 7).

The commission shall consist of six persons, including a deputy commissioner of corrections in control of and supervising the division of youth conservation, and five others, at least one of whom shall be a woman, appointed by the governor, with the consent of the senate.
