FROM THE PRESIDENT
Greetings…
Our chapter was organized in 1951 by nine friends who were as diverse and dynamic as our current membership. They created the framework and the legacy that has fueled our chapter 60+ years later.
Nationally, The Links, Incorporated is an international, not-for-profit corporation, established in 1946. The membership consists of nearly 14,000 professional women of color in 283 chapters located in 41 states, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. It is one of the nation’s oldest and largest volunteer service organizations of extraordinary women who are committed to enriching, sustaining and ensuring the culture and economic survival of African Americans and other persons of African ancestry.
In the Charleston area, The Links, Incorporated has impacted the lives of people in the
tri-county area through programming focused on our five areas of focus which include, Services to Youth, The Arts, National Trends and Services, International Trends and Services and Health and Human Services.

The Charleston (SC) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated is one of the founding organizations of The Teacher’s Supply Closet
which provides free school supplies for students and teachers at targeted Title 1 elementary schools. Through our Arts Facet, we have supported The Stylez
program, an afterschool program designed to introduce the arts to elementary and middle school children. We support programming focused on creating future leaders in our community through our Future Leaders Roundtable
and we support efforts internationally in both Jamaica and Haiti.
Additionally, the Charleston (SC) Links pledge our support of Historically Black Colleges and Universities in our area by supporting efforts to increase the numbers of students attending and providing support of these important institutions.
Most importantly, our members are friends that are connected through our commitment to service in our community and beyond!
Sincerely,
