Welcome to the Linda Ray Center
Located
in an inner-city neighborhood, The Linda Ray Center, once a “crack house”,
was developed for the University of Miami by Infants In Need, Inc., a
non-profit organization.
The Linda Ray Center develops and delivers programs to improve the outcomes
for Miami's at-risk children and families. The program goal is to lay a
foundation for school readiness, to build parenting skills, and to help
families create safe environments. The Center provides a model for others to
use elsewhere. Evidence is collected on program effectiveness to share with
the community and other partners.
Founded in 1991, the Center is a program within
the Department of Psychology. There are multiple opportunities for
University of Miami students to receive research and volunteer experience
within the Center. Other volunteers are also welcome to participate in
Center activities.
