The Link’s CEO Presented With The Hennepin County District Court Award

The Hennepin County District Court has honored a Twin Cities youth advocate who has dedicated herself to seeking positive outcomes for youth and young families at risk for homelessness, sex trafficking, or involvement with the juvenile justice system. 

Judges presented Beth Holger with the Steven A. Pihlaja Justice Partner Award at their bench meeting Monday. Holger is chief executive officer and executive director of The Link, a North Minneapolis-based nonprofit that serves the seven-county metro area. The organization provides housing and supportive services for youth and young families experiencing homelessness; positive alternative programs for youth in the juvenile justice system; and emergency shelter, housing, and supportive services for youth who have been sexually exploited.
