Why we love working for LINC

The work of LINC’s Caring Communities is as important and life-changing as ever.

And the search for passionate people to join in this work also faces a critical moment.

At a time when the available workforce in Kansas City and nationwide is stretched thin, several of LINC’s frontline staff stepped aside during a break from their duties with children at LINC’s before- and after-school programs to give testimony to why LINC jobs — among so many choices out there — are special.

In a series of video interviews, they share the joys of their work, the challenges in helping children, families and neighborhoods, and the conveniences of part-time hours on weekday mornings and afternoons.

Some team members add LINC service to other employment or home obligations. Some are retirees, carrying on meaningful work in their lives. Some are college students, spending their middays in class , then gaining valuable experience — and part-time wages — in LINC’s work of building communities.
