About CommunityLINK

CommunityLINK (Learning Includes Nutrition and Knowledge) provides over $51 million in funding (PDF, 76KB) to all 60 boards of education to support vulnerable students in academic achievement and social functioning.

The funding helps school districts provide services such as breakfast and lunch programs, inner city and community school programs, school-based support workers, and counselling for at-risk children and youth.

CommunityLINK defines “vulnerable students” as those students who may be at risk in terms of academic achievement and social functioning. These students primarily come from less affluent socio-economic backgrounds.
