Impact Breakfast Panelists

Panelist - Lindsey Young, Staff Writer & Assistant Editor, Minnesota Vikings

Lindsey is part of an editorial team of three with the Minnesota Vikings, where she serves as a writer and assistant editor. She writes about all things connected to the Vikings organization but especially loves producing game-day content, deep-dive features and off-field stories that make a difference. Lindsey has been with the Vikings since 2015 and has been grateful for the opportunity to experience the grand opening of U.S. Bank Stadium as well as Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center.

Outside of football, she is passionate about her Christian faith, photography, spending time with family and friends, and being advocate for mental health and suicide awareness. This past year, Lindsey started the 'Getting Open' content initiative for the Vikings that focused on all-things mental health - and ultimately shared her own experience with anxiety and depression as part of that work.
