It is one of the nation’s oldest and largest volunteer service organizations of women who are committed to enriching, sustaining and ensuring the culture and economic survival of African-Americans and other persons of African ancestry. The organization focuses on local communities, yet is international in its scope, growth, and leadership. The dynamic members of The North Broward County (FL) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated represents every profession from medicine, education, law, advocacy, and business entrepreneurship, to name a few. In addition, these exceptional women are active members of society making a difference in Broward County with a global impact donating countless volunteer hours every year.

Established in May 1995  by three friends, Dorothy Ruffin, Margaret Roseburr and Gloria Butler, the North Broward County Chapter has served the Broward County community for over 25 years and continues to build upon the foundation of friendship and service. Our history exemplifies the pillars of our organization and the commitment we have to improving the lives of others. We are proud of our transformational programming which is accomplished through our five (5) Program Facets: Services to Youth, International Trends and Services, National Trends and Services, Health and Human Services and The Arts.

Our chapter programming impacts local, national, and international issues involving education, healthcare, and other human services. 

Recognized by our National organization for Best Practices in programming, The North Broward County chapter has partnered with the following organizations: 

• Southeast Florida Girls Scout Troop 10586 to implement Health and Human Services-SUGE program “SteamUlting Girls to Excel” focusing on health education for young girls;

• The Services to Youth-NSBE Jr. “STEM Gems” program motivates youth at Attucks Middle School to embrace STEM education and seek advanced career choices in science;

• As a Southern Area winner of several grant funding opportunities, we are able to provide innovative programming in The Arts-Connecting the Threads and Services to Youth-Closing the Gaps to Foster Care, by expanding scholastic growth and economic resources to members of our community.

These are extraordinary times for our communities; however, The North Broward County (FL) Links, remains committed to the work of serving others.
