LINC’s programming is proven to increase student attendance and reading achievement.
LINC before and after-school programs are fully licensed and directed by LINC staff who are state-approved to operate childcare programs. All LINC staff at school sites pass health and annual legal background checks and are trained in CPR.
LINC delivers focused STEM programming, family engagement and adult education in four school districts through the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21CCLC) program. Each cohort of schools is independently evaluated annually to measure student progress in math, reading, and science and to assess the impact of program participation.
LINC has created a model of chess instruction designed specifically for kids. Children ages kindergarten through high school benefit from the curriculum and playing opportunities.
