LINC is: Mission and Vision
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.
Learn MoreWho We Are
Leading Into New Communities, Inc. (LINC, Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in Wilmington North Carolina that provides transitional living and case management services to meet the immediate needs of men and women returning from prison. We also offer culturally-specific youth development services for African American young men ages 12-24.
Learn MoreWhat We Believe
Positive, supportive re-entry 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.
Learn MoreNow Accepting Residential Campus Referrals!
LINC will soon be operating two residential programs: the Marvin E. Roberts transitional living campus (coed) and the STAR Center (males). Both programs support justice-involved individuals with reentry, for a period of 6-9 months. Placement in these programs is dependent on availability and individual needs. Referrals can be made using the confidential online form.
