We are looking for more parents and guardians to join the LINK Family Advisory Committee! Our Family Advisory Committee (or FAC) is a space for parents and guardians to build a network among those who are supporting LINK Scholars. FAC members have opportunities to plan parent events that collaborate with LINK programming, discuss trends and themes that are impacting our Scholar population, and provide LINK with feedback to holistically improve the LINK Unlimited Scholars experience. We would love to have your insight and wisdom on the FAC as we continue our work to support our Scholars to, through, and beyond college! Please let us know of your interest in participating by completing the survey at the link below. https://bit.ly/3VY0PLS #LINKUnlimitedScholars #LINKScholars #NonprofitOrganization #Chicago #Mentors #CollegeAccess #AcademicEnrichment #LeadershipDevelopment #CareerExposure

A few weeks ago our team officially graduated from the The Rustandy Center for Social Sector Innovation's second cohort of the IGNITE Program! The program was a unique leadership program sponsored by Golub Capital for organizations serving the Black community in Chicago. The nine-month program offered resources specifically tailored to help nonprofit organizations serving the Black community strengthen and scale their impact. #LINKUnlimitedScholars #LINKScholars #NonprofitOrganization #Chicago #Mentors #CollegeAccess #AcademicEnrichment #LeadershipDevelopment #CareerExposure

We are thrilled to announce that LINK Alum Trina Reynolds-Tyler (Class of 2011), data director for Invisible Institute, recently won a Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting in partnership with Sarah Conway, City Bureau Senior Reporter, for their investigation “Missing in Chicago,” a seven-part series that reveals how Chicago police have routinely violated state law and police procedure, delaying and mishandling missing person cases. The report revealed a racial bias that disproportionately impacts Black girls/women and how poor police data is making the problem harder to solve. trina and Sarah collaborated using an innovative blend of data science and a machine-learning model to ultimately analyze more than one million police records. Read a full description of their work and its impact at the link in bio. https://bit.ly/3Lf0BuJ #LINKUnlimitedScholars #LINKScholars #NonprofitOrganization #Chicago #Mentors #CollegeAccess #AcademicEnrichment #LeadershipDevelopment #CareerExposure #PulitzerPrize #PulitzerWinner https://bit.ly/3Lf0BuJ
