FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1
MISSION STATEMENT TO PROVIDE LEADERSHIP AND INFLUENCE TO ENGAGE THE KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES IN CREATING THE BEST SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM TO SUPPORT AND STRENGTHEN CHILDREN, FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS, HOLDING THAT SYSTEM ACCOUNTABLE, AND CHANGING PUBLIC ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE SYSTEM. THE PURPOSE OF LINC INCLUDES BEING A STATE-WIDE RESOURCE FOR MISSOURI FOR CERTAIN DATA AND COMMUNICATIONS NEEDS AND SERVICES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A
PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENT CARING COMMUNITIES Helping Students, Parents and Neighbors: LINC provides support for school and neighborhood services in multiple school districts. Major efforts include building community schools, operating out-of-school programs in area districts and charter schools, implementing federal 21st Century Community Learning Center grants, and operating the area's Community Partnership initiative. Other smaller, similar programs are also included in the category. In total, as of June 30, 2014 there were 84 Caring Community sites spread across seven school districts, two charter schools, and two community centers. Out-of-School-Time: As noted, Out-of-School-Time programming (also referred to as Before and After School Care) is a major programming component for many Caring Communities locations. Currently 41 school sites offer LINC-facilitated Out-of-School-Time activities to an enrolled program population in excess of 5,400 children. These programs operate every day school is in session during the regular school year, with summer programming historically offered at a reduced number of sites. In all cases, LINC strives to work closely with the Site Councils, Districts, and individual youth and families to ensure each site's programming is supportive of that neighborhood's unique needs and goals. 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21CCLC): Three 21st Century grants awarded by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education are helping fund after-school academic enrichment, youth involvement, and expanded parent and community involvement at 17 of LINC's local school sites. The academic component of these grants focus heavily on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) activities, with an equally important emphasis on youth development and project learning activities. This combination will build student skillsets necessary for success in middle and high school grade levels and beyond. For FY14, this service served approximately 49,354 people. In total, at June 30, 2014, there were 82 LINC Caring Community sites. In FY14, LINC touched the lives of 180,422 individuals through direct service delivery, recruitment in volunteer activities, and engagement in site and community activities.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B
PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENT Youth Development Protecting Children & Youth: LINC is actively involved in addressing community child and adolescent issues. These programs improve outcomes for (and extends services to) at-risk families, particularly those at risk for child abuse and neglect and those who have been involved with the juvenile court system. Emphasis is put on enhancing community awareness and training, and developing data systems to support better service delivery by the state child welfare agency. These efforts also include: 1. Coordinating a regional effort to work with teenage children leaving the foster care system so they are successful in moving towards an independent and productive adulthood. 2. Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) provides training for youth on making safe choices. 3. Financial infrastructure support for three regional Adoption Resource Centers located in Missouri. 4. Mentoring services to assist youth who for a variety of reasons may benefit from additional role models in their lives. 5. Staffing and operational support for the Missouri Department of Youth Service's Star School - an online "virtual school" which delivers a unique educational approach with supports designed for at-risk youth. Health Initiatives: These programs improve outcomes for (and extends services to) at-risk, underserved youths and their families, particularly those without ready access to health services and/or insurance. Often these programs are driven by concerned citizens striving to improve health conditions in their neighborhoods, with LINC providing the infrastructure to enable them to move forward on their vision. LINC's receipt of a recent grant from the Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City (effective July 1, 2014) on behalf of the Marlborough and Historic East Neighborhood's Healthy Eating and Nutrition initiative is one such example. For FY14, this program served approximately 18,783 people.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C
PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENT Work Skills Under a contract with the State of Missouri to support its Missouri Work Assistance Initiative (MWA) LINCWorks is responsible for serving unemployed and underemployed adults in the counties of Jackson, Clay, and Platte. These counties cover the Kansas City Missouri metropolitan area and surrounding region. Through development, planning, contracting, and monitoring community-based welfare-to-work systems LINCWorks focuses on job retention issues including: child care, job readiness, personal skills, employer training and public transportation. For FY14, this program served approximately 4,127 people.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D
OTHER PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS Childcare Education & Support Educare: LINC has a long history of working closely with local childcare providers and other organizations who share a common vision of quality childcare. As an integrated community-wide asset the childcare service network holds high value not only to family's dependent upon it, but to the metropolitan area as a whole. A critical component in quality care is training. Educare services offered by LINC represent one of the first steps in a range of training opportunities available for childcare providers in the Kansas City area. Critical skillsets and on-site technical support are made available to providers with the goal of them being able to operate safe, viable, businesses and to increase their desire for more advanced training, accreditation, and perhaps pursue a degree in early childhood. Educare is designed to enhance the early childhood development of children between the ages of zero to three years old. The program offers training, educational resources and home visits to family care providers located in Jackson, Clay and Platte County, Missouri, and addresses core competencies for early care and education professionals. For FY14, the Educare program served approximately 1,404 people. Childcare Provider Registration & Support: LINC's Childcare Provider Support team handles registration and subsidy payment processing for childcare providers in the Kansas City metropolitan area on behalf of the State of Missouri. This service effectively complements other provider supports offered by LINC by creating an additional communications channel between LINC staff and provider needs. For FY14, the Early Childhood program served approximately 4,542 people. Community Assistance The Caring Communities concept is built around a holistic approach to resolving individual, family, and neighborhood issues. Eliminating the obvious issue often requires addressing several that are much less obvious. To accomplish this, LINC facilitated Caring Community sites offer services such as Utility Assistance, Grandparents as Parents support, food pantries, clothes closets, and other supports applicable to the needs of each site's residents. These programs served more than 358 individuals in FY14.
