U.S. Bank Hometown Hero: The Link

Sunday's Hometown Hero is The Link, the Minneapolis-based youth and community organization that was founded in 1991 by Vikings Legends Jim Marshall and Oscar Reed. The Link supports North Minneapolis youth who are victimized by crime or are struggling with poverty and homelessness. The Link's 22 programs help provide housing, case management services and skills development to at-risk youth. The Link supports more than 2,000 young families and youth in seven counties across the Twin Cities Metro. Additionally, The Link recently opened the Dignity House emergency shelter for youth ages 10-17, which provides additional beds for runaway and homeless youth in the Twin Cities. Earlier this month, Marshall surprised The Link CEO Beth Holger with a $20,000 grant from the Vikings Social Justice Committee.

Although no fans will be in attendance, the Gjallarhorn will be sounded by Project Success Founder and Executive Director Adrienne Diercks. Project Success is a youth-development organization that encourages young people while providing them resources to help them achieve their life goals. Diercks founded Project Success in 1994 with 200 students at Minneapolis North High School, and today the program has grown to serve more than 16,000 students and their families.

Diercks was named a Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal "Woman to Watch" in 2008 and has been honored with the Minneapolis Award for her outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the City of Minneapolis. Diercks was honored with Ann Bancroft Foundation's "Dream Maker" Award for Achievement and Leadership, and as a Woman of Distinction by the Girl Scouts River Valleys in 2017. In 2019, she received the WEM Foundation's Outstanding Educator Award for Excellence in Education, honoring her many years of leadership and dedication to inspire a spirit of learning in students.

In addition to her role at Project Success, Diercks is the President of the Minnesota Women's Economic Roundtable and a member of the Women Presidents' Organization. She is a graduate of the James P. Shannon Leadership Institute.

Vikings Owner Mark Wilf, Legend Alan Page and current players recently embarked on a virtual field trip with Project Success students to the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture.
