Who We Serve
Rooted in the Northern Panhandle
Empower and Link, Inc. is a West Virginia 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Colliers, serving individuals and families across the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia and neighboring communities in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Rather than handing someone a phone number, a navigator walks alongside them — meeting them where they are, building a personalized plan, and coordinating support across housing, employment, behavioral health, legal aid, transportation, and education until they reach stability.

360° Support Framework
Real support means addressing the whole picture.
Poverty, addiction, homelessness, mental health, justice involvement — these don't exist in isolation. Our navigators coordinate across every area of a client's life so nothing falls through the cracks.
Housing Stability
Emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent placement, landlord mediation, and utility assistance tied to your plan.
Employment & Workforce
Resume building, interview prep, job placement, skills training, and support once you're working.
Behavioral Health
Mental health referrals, addiction recovery coordination, crisis intervention, and trauma-informed counseling connections.
Legal Aid & Advocacy
Court navigation, legal representation connections, record expungement assistance, and rights advocacy.
Transportation
Rides to appointments, job interviews, DHHR visits, and medical care. Getting there is half the battle.
Education & Life Skills
Financial literacy through America Saves, GED support, budgeting workshops, and practical skills for independence.
Growing Every Day
The numbers above reflect our current program activity — referrals received, clients served, and services coordinated across the counties we work in. They update as our navigators help families move toward stability. Transparency and accountability to our community and donors guide everything we do.
