Hello,
Welcome to the website of the Montgomery County (PA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated!
The Links, Incorporated, founded in 1946, is an international, not-for-profit organization of more than 16,000 professional women of African descent. With 300 chapters across 41 states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, and the United Kingdom, The Links, Incorporated is one of the nation’s oldest and largest volunteer service organizations. Our members are extraordinary women dedicated to enriching, sustaining, and ensuring the cultural and economic well-being of African Americans and people of African ancestry around the world.
Our programming centers on five facets of service: Services to Youth, The Arts, National Trends and Services, International Trends and Services, and Health and Human Services. These initiatives are brought to life through education, advocacy, economic empowerment, and community engagement.
Chartered in 1976, the Montgomery County (PA) Chapter is proud of a legacy built by distinguished women who were—and continue to be—leaders in their professions and communities. For nearly five decades, our members have worked with purpose and passion, guided by our theme: “Intentional, Impactful—Improving Lives.”
Through thousands of volunteer hours and generous scholarship contributions, we have made a lasting difference in Montgomery County, across Pennsylvania, and around the globe.
Thank you for visiting our site and for your interest in the Montgomery County (PA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated. We invite you to explore our work, celebrate our impact, and join us in our mission to strengthen and uplift our communities.
