As a parent, you can use LinkEd to...
Find education programs for your kids
Are you a parent looking to find a program for your child, but don't know what services are available in your community? We can help! There are thousands of education programs that you can utilize for your children and they could be located just blocks from where you live!
To find services near you:
-- Go to the Organization tab on the homepage
-- Enter the type of program you want to find (e.g. tutoring, mentoring, special needs, art, etc)
-- Voila! The result is a list of organizations that match your criteria many of these programs will be near you or are flexible to come to your neck of the woods...
-- If you would like to refine your search further by location, you can click on the map ( but keep in mind that many organizations just put in their headquarters’ address and they actually work in additional communities, so don’t be alarmed if you don’t find many in your exact address).
-- Now, select a program/resource that sounds interesting and read on...
From each profile, you can read a synopsis of their program, find their location, link to their website, or contact them directly.
Some examples:
A ticket to the arts
William's daughter is interested in theater, so he wants to take her to a show or get her involved in some way beyond what is offered in the school, but where to start? Tickets to broadway shows are too expensive. So William tries out LinkEducation and searches for arts and theater. A slew of organizations in New York City appears, including a profile of one organization that sells $5 tickets for a parent and child to attend a broadway show. Off they go!
Finding help with reading
My daughter is struggling with reading and could really use some additional help. I went to LinkEducation's website, searched for 'reading' and found some great programs, including one that provides one-on-one reading instruction.
