The Links, Incorporated stands as a beacon of hope, illuminating the path to equality and success. The Services to Youth Facet, in particular, ignites the flame of knowledge in young black minds, nurturing their intellect and empowering them to become strong and prosperous citizens.

The Links, Incorporated spreads its magic to all corners of the realm through transformative programs that span academia, health, culture, social awareness, and career development. The Las Vegas (NV) Chapter's Services To Youth (STY) Facet, with its unwavering commitment, has chosen to collaborate with the graduate chapters of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and other educational organizations. Together, they guide young students towards the golden gates of higher education, independent private career schools, or apprenticeships, carving paths towards a brighter future.

The STY Facet journeys, captivating young minds through HBCU tour presentations and youth development programs. These initiatives not only awaken their educational interests but also provide a rich understanding of the history, culture, and traditions that shape the collective legacy of these institutions. STY offers scholarships to deserving high school participants, enabling them to embark on this enchanted journey, and gift cards to other participants as a token of their inspiration.
