Unaccompanied, An exhibition with Kate Capshaw

Unaccompanied

In February 2023, The Link’s CEO Beth Holger and two youth featured in project attended the opening of Unaccompanied-  an exhibit at the The Bo Bartlett Center in Columbus, GA! Thank you to Kate Capshaw and her entire team (Jess Harris, Joshua-Michele-Ross and Hannah Ehrlich) for the incredibly respectful and thoughtful compassion and support that they gave to the young people involved in the project. Working with Capshaw has been a transformational experience for youth and adults at The Link, and we are grateful for her help bringing awareness to the issue of youth homelessness.

Check out images from the weekand a news report (Artist Talk featuring Kate Capshaw, Bo Bartlett packs out CSU’s Riverside Theater) from the exhibit.

Bezos Day 1 Families Fund Award

We are excited to share a message from our CEO, Beth Holger-
“The Link is honored and thrilled to be a recipient of a $2.5 Million Bezos Day 1 Families Fund grant! The contribution to our organization and community will have a measurable impact by helping us transition many more young families in Minneapolis out of homelessness and into stable housing. It will also help break the cycle of homelessness for these families and their children — preventing homelessness from becoming generational.”
This one-time grant will allow The Link to sustain and expand its housing and support services for young families experiencing homelessness. The Link will focus on culturally specific and youth-driven programming for young Black families, who are disproportionately impacted by homelessness.
