The Links, Inc. is a public service, international organization of African-American women, founded by two women in November 1946 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a volunteer-driven organization committed to promoting educational, cultural, and civic activities among its members. The organization also seeks to provide opportunities for the enrichment of personal friendships. Each chapter initiates, supports, and participates in programs designed to address the needs of their communities in areas such as youth services, the arts, national trends and services, and international trends and services.

The Atlanta Chapter of The Links, Inc. was chartered in February 1953 with 19 members. The chapter's original objectives were to help women better understand their civic responsibilities, both locally and nationally; to encourage cultural appreciation through the arts; and to help women understand and assume their social responsibilities, locally and nationally. The chapter includes several committees that plan programs and raise funds for educational institutions and charitable programs throughout the Atlanta area.
