LOCAL PROGRAMS
The Mount Rose Chapter (MD) of The Links, Incorporated is proud to introduce the NSBE Jr. Chapter Program where we will focus on 5 key areas: Development of the Whole Child, Closing the Achievement Gap, Career Awareness, Financial Literacy, and Mentoring. The mission of this program is to improve the high school experience by encouraging students to engage in the school process and increase the preparedness of African American students for the transition to collegiate life. We intend to close the knowledge and confidence gap with education in order to help students feel more prepared and ready for life after graduation. We will accomplish this mission by facilitating interactive and engaging monthly activities for 10th through 12th grade students that are geared towards Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM). Link sisters from all facets will act as facilitators, mentors, and judges as we plan and implement activities geared towards enhancing the enjoyment and understanding of the Arts and Sciences. Students that remain in our program through high school graduation will acquire the skills to be better equipped for the transition into collegiate life.
