Within a few years, Lin had gradually built up contacts in various departments. With the help of the Council for Cultural Affairs, the Young Culture & Education Foundation, and some enthusiastic academics, he put on activities to help seniors, some "back to your roots" tours for Atayals who lived elsewhere, rattan weaving courses and demonstrations, and painting and oral history projects.
之後幾年，林金助慢慢摸索各相關公、私部門的聯繫窗口，透過文建會、仰山文教基金會、熱心學者等的幫忙，陸續舉辦關懷老人、泰雅尋根之旅、藤編織布研習、彩繪部落、口述歷史等活動。
