LINC Assistance and Readiness Class (LARC)
Not ready for a traditional LINC class? Need additional support while learning English? The LINC Assistance and Readiness Class (LARC) is a trauma-informed program for clients who need additional support and more flexibility than a conventional LINC class would provide. The goal for clients in LARC is to be able to transition into the regular LINC program.
