What We Do 

LINC’s unique 2Gen model connects resources that already exist in the community, leveraging them to surround families with literacy-rich environments. This is how we nurture a culture of literacy at the neighborhood level and generate lasting change.

Our Programs

Throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island, our programs connect Family, School and Community and ensure that books are available and that children have access to reading and reading support. It has been proven that children who read more have a higher level of achievement.
