BE A PARTNER
What does it mean to be a LINK Partner?
Our corporate investors are true partners in our mission. Their significant financial commitments fuel exponential growth so more Black students benefit from our proven solution.
There are many ways to be a LINK Partner.
Each company’s engagement plan is custom-designed. We provide our Partners’ employees a wide range of opportunities to engage with LINK Scholars, such as career fairs and panel discussions, job shadowing and internships, Scholar applicant interviews and training, and more.
Here are four common ways businesses like yours get involved:
SPONSOR A COHORT
Over the next four years, we plan to grow our impact from 150 students to 600 students. Expansion is planned by adding cohorts—a group of 50 students. Your company can be part of exponentially expanding our impact by investing in Chicago’s students and future.
