Programs and Outreach - National Trends
POLITICAL POWER ... IMPACTING OUR COMMUNITY… The Links Inc. has five facets for chapters to drive signature programming and efforts. One of the facets is called National Trends and Services (NTS). The National Trends and Services, seeks to focus on “national trends” to plan “services” that will make an impact on our communities, it is clear that racial and ethnic disparities are the underlying factors that lead to those issues of concern identified and addressed by our programming. More specifically, our efforts will be driven by disparities; political, educational, social, and economical, on a local and national level, which impacts and affects our community. We will streamline and align our efforts to improve the lives of African American Women and Youth. The VISION of the National Trends and Services Facet is to eliminate disparities so as to reduce barriers to services through leadership, education, and service. Our MISSION is to empower the communities in which we work by focusing on three key initiatives. National Trends and Services (NTS), defines its key initiatives for the next two to four years to be: Initiative One: Voter Registration Drives – It is important and imperative that we ensure all voices and votes count in every election. We will host a minimum of one voter registration, in a minimum of one location throughout the Santa Clara County. Initiative Two: National and Local Issues Summit – A bi-annual summit, on key relevant, priority issues facing our community. The Summit will be facilitated by a well known, highly respected, community leader, along with panelist from local community leaders, all sharing their perspectives, input and ideas on resolutions. The goal is to help the community move forward and to outline the critical steps needed to ensure progress and change. The Summit will force the organizations to build on a collective, collaborative network to solve broad issues facing our community. The outcome of the summit is a scorecard in which we will review at the next summit to determine progress and momentum. Initiative Three: Umbrella Program – In keeping with the spirit of Linkdom, we will work and partner with the four remaining facets to implement a stellar umbrella program. This program will impact our community and align to the chapter’s goal, in supporting and providing solid, stellar programming. MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF WOMEN AND YOUTH |
