Our Mission

LINC inspires and enlists communities to create a better future for our children through early reading success. The simple but effective approach is grounded in three beliefs:

1. All children will read well, given enough one-on-one support
2. Every community has the strengths and resources to foster early reading success for its children, and
   
3. Sustained, coordinated, community-based effort can activate “literacy-rich” neighborhoods that will provide this support.

As the catalyst for this effort, LINC cultivates collaborations and leverages community resources to provide expanded opportunities for children to read and, ultimately, to succeed. Whether in schools, parks, laundromats, hair salons, health centers, or libraries—indeed, wherever children are found—LINC supported programs are available.
