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.
