OUR MISSION
LINC, Inc.'s mission is to educate and motivate youth to make positive life choices and to empower men and women returning from incarceration to be productive members of our community.
OUR VISION
Communities where every individual and family—regardless of their past—can build a lifeof dignity, stability, and purpose.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Positive, supportive reentry is in the best interest of the community with respect to public safety, a more fully employed population, a decrease in substance abuse activities, and decrease in crime rates. Sustainable resources and intensive support assist justice-involved individuals and significantly reduces recidivism.
LINC began with a brother's love and a belief that no one should be defined by their most difficult moments. After witnessing his brother Marvin E. Roberts struggle with addiction and the challenges of reentry following incarceration, Frankie Roberts became determined to create a different path for others. Following Marvin's unexpected death in 1998, Frankie and Tracey Ray co-founded LINC, turning personal loss into a lasting commitment to forgiveness, compassion, and the power of second chances.

Behind every number is a person working toward a stronger future—and a community growing stronger alongside them.
The Hisan J. Polk Transformation Academy represents a bold investment in second chances. By transforming an existing building into a center for opportunity, LINC is creating a space where individuals can develop skills, access resources, and build pathways toward lasting stability.
LINC works alongside community organizations, service providers, employers, and supporters to connect people with opportunities and resources that strengthen successful reentry.
Care Hub is a grant-funded initiative bringing together organizations working in the reentry space to coordinate support for justice-involved individuals. Through collaborative, partner-based referrals, the initiative helps connect participants with resources that support stability and well-being.
Whether you're looking for support, ready to volunteer, or inspired to give, there's a place for you in LINC's mission. Together, we can create more opportunities for people to rebuild their lives and strengthen our community.
