Proudly serving the greater Philadelphia area and surrounding communities, LINKAS KIDS is rooted in the heart of Pennsylvania where we've been building connections and transforming young lives. Our Havertown location serves as the hub for our community outreach programs, mentorship initiatives, and youth development activities that extend throughout the region.
What We Do
Linking kids, building futures.
LINKAS KIDS is a dynamic nonprofit organization that creates meaningful connections between children and the resources they need to thrive. We bridge gaps by linking young people with supportive peers, dedicated mentors, and valuable community opportunities that foster both personal growth and social development.
Our comprehensive approach recognizes that every child deserves access to positive role models, enriching experiences, and a strong support network that believes in their potential.
Our Core Programs
Peer Connection
Facilitating meaningful friendships and social bonds among children of similar ages and interests through structured activities, group projects, and collaborative learning experiences.
Mentorship Matching
Connecting young people with caring adult mentors who provide guidance, support, and encouragement while serving as positive role models for personal and academic growth.
Community Engagement
Creating pathways for children to participate in local community activities, volunteer opportunities, and skill-building programs that develop leadership and civic responsibility.
Building Stronger Communities
Our Approach
We believe that strong communities are built one relationship at a time. Through carefully designed programs and activities, we create safe spaces where children can develop confidence, learn valuable life skills, and form lasting connections with peers and mentors.
Our evidence-based approach focuses on building resilience, fostering emotional intelligence, and developing the social skills that children need to succeed in school, relationships, and life.
Community Impact
Every child we serve becomes a catalyst for positive change in their family, school, and neighborhood. By investing in young people today, we're building stronger, more connected communities for tomorrow.
- Enhanced social skills and emotional development
- Improved academic performance and school engagement
- Stronger family relationships and communication
- Increased community involvement and civic awareness
Success Stories
Sarah, Age 12
"Before joining LINKAS KIDS, I was really shy and had trouble making friends at school. Now I have amazing friends and a mentor who helps me with homework and believes in me. I feel more confident and excited about my future."
Marcus, Age 14
"My mentor taught me that it's okay to ask for help and that my ideas matter. Through the community service projects, I learned I can make a real difference. Now I want to become a mentor myself when I'm older."
