Tell us about your project! How can people get involved?

I heard about Neighbors Link through Kyle and Tyler Stricof, whose dedication to the organization helped inspire me to give back to my community.  During the summer of 2019 I volunteered with Summer Links, an academic enrichment program for K-6 children of immigrants.  I loved working with the kids, helping them with reading and math, and collaborating with teachers. I had been looking forward to continuing with Summer Links in the summer of 2020 until Covid-19 shut everything down. Thankfully Neighbors Link shifted the program to a live remote platform so our work could continue despite the pandemic. Summer Links has been a really rewarding way for me to make a difference in my community.  I look forward to continuing my volunteer work with Neighbors Link and utilizing the Change4Good Foundation as a valuable resource.
