The Links, Inc. is a national professional women’s service organization launched in 1949 focusing on civic, educational, and cultural concerns. The Angel City (CA) Chapter was chartered in 1963. The Achievement Trust is our non-profit corporate entity. Together we form a community-focused organization to support our banner initiative: The Achiever Program.
THE ACHIEVER PROGRAM
Our banner program premiered in l981. For 42 years and counting the mission of the program has been to combat the negative portrayal of African American men in the media and our communities. The Achiever Program, serving Los Angeles and surrounding areas, is a six-month program of activities and workshops for African American men in their senior year of high school.
The Achiever program has successfully mentored over 1,400 young men and awarded more than 4 million dollars in scholarships and grants. Our Alumni Achievers have paid it forward through their own successful careers, contributing financially to the Program and volunteering as mentors.
