LINC’s Lights On Afterschool is under way with many more community events to come during the week of Oct. 25–30 at schools from North Kansas City to Grandview.

The annual nationwide celebration shows off the reach of community schools and how after-school programs support families, engage children and strengthen our communities year-round.

LINC Caring Communities programs provide safe, challenging, engaging and fun learning experiences to help children and youth develop their social, cultural, physical, and academic skills.
