International Trends and Services (ITS)
Established to provide services and deliver transformational programs to people of African ancestry globally so that they may have a better quality of life, focusing on women and their families.
Links International Foreign Affairs and Business Empowerment (LIFE) Signature Program held at Booker High School
The program aims to engage, educate, and empower students by providing information that exposes them to international experiences, including speakers, educational trips, multi-cultural cuisine/etiquette, foreign service government career options, and monetary systems. Links sisters who have worked aboard and guest speakers who have worked in the foreign service presented a module series at Booker High School in Sarasota.
Education Across the Miles
The Links, Incorporated began its partnership with Watford Hill Primary School in rural Hopewell, Hanover Parish, Jamaica, in 2016. The Bradenton/Sarasota (FL) Chapter became its sponsoring chapter in 2017 in collaboration with Unconditional Love for Children and The Earl and Carolyn Glenn Foundations. With the support of our National Headquarters and other supporting chapters, we have continued to provide boots-on-the-ground deliverables such as STEAM classes, health care screenings, parental and teacher development, items for a community market, and ongoing financial support. In addition, since we became a stakeholder, a new preschool facility was erected, a chicken coop was constructed, and their garden was enhanced.
