“I have personally seen the Links to Learning program expand over the past six years. It is really amazing what the nonprofit does not only for teachers, but, through the other programs, other people in need. The program has been especially good to my school, since many teachers have benefitted from the grants. It is really humbling to see the selflessness of the ALGW and the volunteers that make it up. Thank you so much for supporting us and our students.”
