Our Founding Members

The Westchester County (NY) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated was established on June 10, 1950. Since then the organization has engaged in programs which impact the African American community, and the African Diaspora. Our programs combine a long-term commitment to local projects with attention to the themes of the National Links organization. We currently have 41 members who provide community service through five facets: National Trends and Services, The Arts, Services to Youth, International Trends and Services, and Health and Human Services.
