About Us

At Chisholm, we help children who face adversity in life by helping them discover their own potential. The possibilities for their future grow from a sense of hope and belonging in their community. Chisholm’s LINKS Literacy Program offers a community-based literacy program for elementary aged children (grades 1-6) who are reading below grade level or who may have been diagnosed with a learning difference. Inclusivity and accessibility are a top priority to ensure we can help as many children as possible to learn to read, to read to learn.
