Our Services

African Community Link offers a range of programs designed to support families and individuals in meaningful ways

 

1. Nutrition Support

At African Community Link, we believe that access to nutritious food is a basic human right. Our Nutrition Support program focuses on ensuring that families in our community, especially those with limited resources, have consistent access to healthy and culturally familiar food. We organize culturally appropriate food distributions that honor traditional dietary needs, host nutrition education workshops to promote healthier eating habits, and provide meal assistance to low-income households and elderly community members who need extra support.

 

2. Education Resources

Education is one of the most powerful tools for success. That’s why we provide comprehensive academic support through our Education Resources & Tutoring Services. Students of all ages can benefit from one-on-one tutoring sessions that focus on key subjects such as math, science, and language arts. We also offer structured homework help and literacy improvement programs to boost academic performance. For older students, we provide college and career readiness resources, helping them set goals and prepare for the next steps.
