LINC, Inc. (Leading Into New Communities, Inc.)

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 young people ages 12-24.

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. 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.
