THE LINK CELEBRATES 20 YEARS

2011 marks a huge milestone for The Link - 20 years of providing quality services to at-risk and homeless youth in the Twin Cities.  The Link was founded in 1991 by two former Minnesota Vikings players, Jim Marshall and Oscar Reed, and Leonard Lindquist, state legislator and founding law partner of Lindquist & Vennum. For twenty years, this grassroots initiative to bring opportunity to disempowered youth has grown to include school-based, community-based, and supportive housing programs, all of which include individualized case management and tailored support to each and every youth in our programs.  We'd like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who is and has been part of our work in building supportive communities for youth! 

To honor our history, we asked 20 questions about The Link.  Click "See more" below to watch.

Success

I am a 17 year old transgender youth. I am much more successful living on my own than with my mom, even though we still have a good relationship. I was staying in a youth shelter before I came to live here, at Lindquist.
