COLLEGE ACCESS: Students find information and receive mentorship-based guidance to gain college access, make informed, economically sound selections, and earn degrees. For more than 20 years, 100% of LINK Scholars were accepted into selective or highly selective colleges and universities, institutions with high graduation rates and robust support systems. To date, our college matriculation rate stands strong at 91%. Our Scholars are outpacing their peers and graduating college at rates higher than the national average (55% vs. 48%), nearly twice the national average for Black students (55% vs. 28%) and more than three times the average for Black students in Chicago (55% vs. 17%).

Leadership Development & Career Exposure: Students cultivate leadership skills, which reinforces a strong sense of personal identity, confidence in social relations, and values. We offer several Saturday Academies/workshops throughout the academic year and retreats that focus on social emotional learning, mental health, self-advocacy, leadership styles and skill development, and community service.

Carrer exposure: Real-world application & career pathways scholars gain real-world application towards the development of workplace skill building and access to various career pathways.
