Services to Youth

The Links, Incorporated’s Services to Youth facet utilizes an integrated approach to preparing young people to succeed in the 21st century workforce and to promote healthy lifestyles within families and communities. Today, The Links, Incorporated continues to implement transformational programs that are responsive to the academic, health, cultural, social awareness, career development, and mentoring needs of youth.

The primary goals of this facet are to:

• Close the achievement gap from pre-K through college, with the intent of preparing our youth for the global workforce as healthy citizens.

• Promote the integration of a health and wellness component focused on youth, families and communities in our Services to Youth programs.

• Develop training modules for local pre-K through college mentoring programs, to ascertain a high level of support for youth in our communities.
  

• Expand and support science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education and promote the integration of the arts (STEM to STEAM).

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.
