PROGRAM FACETS
Middlesex County (MA) Chapter Initiatives
The Middlesex County Chapter of Links, Incorporated has two ideal community partners for its 'Sisters Linked to Scholars' program, which aims to disrupt the cycle for drop outs targeting teenagers and youth in the Metropolitan Boston. With our community partners Link members guide the students through the college process, ensuring that they are prepared, educated, and eager for college. Link members even stay in contact with the students all the way through college graduation, providing support and encouragement throughout their education.
​
Through strategic partnerships with community organizations we have increased our reach to actively promote health, emotional well-being, the arts and academic achievement as a path toward economic growth and stability. Through our programming, we target disadvantaged students, youth and teenagers with a special interest in Black Boys - to increase the probability of successful outcomes.
​
In partnership with We Belong, a non-profit program developed by the Boston Police department to help at-risk Boston teens gain key leadership skills;. We sponsor our students to travel to the HBCU Campus Tour and provide exposure to campus lifestyle to ensure success and get our students to graduation.
