Linking Intergenerational Neighbors Who Care (LINC) engages youth of the Chadsey/Condon neighborhood to “link” elders in their neighborhood to services and resources that meet the elders‘ needs. The mission of the LINC Project is to provide a safe environment where people can age in dignity, while local young people are exposed to possible job fields, career opportunities, and the transferable skills needed to build a positive future for themselves and their communities.  Most importantly, LINC creates a sustainable community that thrives off of the energy and wisdom of all its members.
