Backpacks Help Start Year Off Right

Having the right supplies and having a "cool" backpack helps our teens feel like school is a place they can succeed. This summer we collected enough backpacks and school supplies to send more than 100 kids off to school feeling confident. We want to thank City County Federal Credit Union, the Minnesota Lynx and Weber Shandwick for coordinating school supply drives. If you would like to set up a donation drive, please contact Tim Reneau-Major at 612-767-4470.

My Story

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. I am finishing up my junior credits at a public high school, looking for a job, and am constantly entertaining the staff and residents at Lindquist!!
