With viking spirit we rebuild low-income ethnic communities
OUR CORE VIKING BELIEF SYSTEM
In all our work we seek to nurture the core Vikings traits; Imagination, Vision, Collaboration and Fearlessness. In the leaders we headhunt, in our community engagement and education programs, and through our Leif Erikson Awards, we portray these traits and seek to pass them on to future generations in honor of the Norwegian Viking who discovered America. Viking spirit is linked to a belief system open to people of all races, ethnicities, and is essential to master to succeed in the game of life.
