The Link Minnesota

Thank you to our friends at JPMorganChase for volunteering to support youth at The Link this holiday season! The team made awesome tie blankets to help keep youth warm this winter and packed hygiene kits featuring culturally specific hair care products 💙

Have you opened your mail from The Link? ✉️ Inside is a takeaway- we wanted to provide supporters with an actionable step for you to help youth in our community! Take your “HELP FOR YOUTH” card and… 📌 Pin to a bulletin board at your local coffee shop, community center, or work place 🎒 Put it in your wallet so you can hand out to a young person in need 🗣️ Talk to your child about what to do if they feel a peer needs support Putting resources in community spaces for youth to access is an incredibly important way to help young people in need. Thank you for being a partner in our work to support youth!

When the weather turns this cold, nothing compares to a warm, homemade meal 💛 Thank you to our friends at West Monroe for making delicious meals and putting together care packages for youth this holiday season!

The Link was honored to work with Hennepin County Security to provide training on best practices for working with youth and responding to young people in crisis. It was amazing to see how officers are trained to work from a model of trauma informed care and partnership with community!

Far too many youth are in crisis. We have the solutions. When you make an end of year gift to The Link, you are investing in programs that have a lasting impact on the lives of youth. In the last year alone, The Link has helped 300 youth and young families transition from homelessness into stable housing. The results are transformative - with a safe place to sleep and wraparound support, youth are building income and independence. Make an impact this holiday season by investing in The Link's work to build brighter futures for youth in our community: https://lnkd.in/gdTDuy3H
