LINC (Lead, Impact, Network, Change) is United Way’s 6-month young professional community impact course that introduces non-profit basics and community impact opportunities. Each year, the LINC cohort chooses a community impact project, based upon the information they learned from the course.
In 2023, the LINC cohort proposed an “Adopt an Agency” initiative as a way of developing meaningful connections with local businesses with United Way partners.
