About Services To Youth.....

Goal: To implement programs that are responsive to the academic, cultural, health, social awareness, career development, and mentoring of youth. An integrated approach to preparing young people to succeed in the 21st century workforce.

Facet HIghlights: In collaboration with the other four Facets (International Trends & Service, The Arts, Health & Human Services and National Trends) and local professionals, we focus on issues that affect the student population in our CARES Program. So far, we have discussed the importance of exercising our right to vote, taking care of self (mind, body & soul), “Black Lives Matter” and Human Trafficking and Sex Slavery awareness. College Connection - The program is designed to motivate the recipients of the Linking to the Future scholarships awarded by the Chapter. This component of service to the community is in alignment with the focus of the Western Area and The Link's Incorporated, for increasing college admission.

Black Bronco Day

Black Bronco Day at Cal Poly Pomona College

The Claremont Area Chapter was honored to be invited to the Annual Black Bronco Welcome held on the campus of California Polytechnic State University, Pomona for the fifth year in a row. The Annual Black Bronco Welcome is an event meant to bring together African-American students, staff and faculty

as a way of welcoming everyone back on campus. It’s a time for building community and an introduction to several of the resources on campus.

The Services to Youth facet, led by Link Amaryllis Watkins and several chapter members set up a table with lots of giveaways and information about the chapter and our impact in the community. President, Link Pamela Chaivra was afforded an opportunity to share additional information about the Claremont Area Chapter with those in attendance as well as extend an invitation to all the young women

to the upcoming Meet and Greet for our onsite mentoring program.

This year’s event was well attended with over 150 students, staff and faculty.
