We envision a community where every individual feels safe, is empowered to make positive life changes, and has the opportunity to lead a meaningful life.
The skilled and compassionate counselors at Connections help youth identify the strengths to overcome obstacles and develop the skills to move forward into a brighter future.
It is our agency’s goal, through the Universal Child Abuse Prevention (UCAP) service, to reach and inform everyone on how to reduce the incidents of child abuse and neglect in our communities.
Families are struggling with financial concerns, health scares, and emotional isolation. Our programs designed to build resilience, strengthen families, and shelter youth are just as important now as they were when Connections was founded 40 years ago.
To celebrate our anniversary and support the youth and families that rely on us, Connections is launching a special campaign to honor 40 years of connecting businesses, organizations, and individuals to strengthen communities. Our goal is to to recruit one sponsor at $40,000 and 40 sponsors at $4,000. A 40th anniversary donation will be a catalyst to move Connections into the next 40 years

However, the need is too great to rely on grants alone; therefore, Connections also relies on community support in the form of both monetary and in-kind donations.
Funds go to basic services for the kids in our emergency shelters and transitional living program. Food, hygiene products, bedding, clothing, etc.

We provide counseling services (at no or minimal cost)within the communities we serve
