L.I.N.K.S.
Lifestyle, Insights, Networking, Knowledge & Skills (L.I.N.K.S.)
The
mission of L.I.N.K.S. is to enhance the readiness of Marine Corps families
by fostering the education and personal growth of spouses, thereby equipping
them to successfully meet the challenges of Marine Corps life.
The Marine Corps assembled a collection of programs which would improve unit effectiveness and mission readiness and provide a forum to prepare Marine families to successfully meet the challenges of the military lifestyle. Marine Corps Family Team Building (MCFTB) was created to provide this forum and bridge the gap between families and units. L.I.N.K.S. is MCFTB’s foundational program, providing an orientation to life as a Marine Corps spouse and offering participants an opportunity to develop essential skills for thriving in this challenging environment. L.I.N.K.S. is a volunteer, team-mentoring program, designed by spouses, for spouses.
While L.I.N.K.S. is open to every spouse, its curriculum focuses on spouses
new to the Marine Corps community. L.I.N.K.S. is an orientation to the Marine
Corps lifestyle, helping new spouses to become resilient and self-reliant
members of the Marine Corps family. L.I.N.K.S. is a program working in partnership
with volunteer spouses, MCFTB staff, and chaplains.
