Community Connector Consortium

In the past decade, research underscores a trend of increased behavioral and social-emotional deficits for our youth.  Children show increased need for support in areas of emotional regulation, stamina, and engagement.

 

Research also extends to us options for intervention.  Brain-based studies, such as those by Daniel Goleman and Angela Duckworth highlight the importance of developing emotional and physical compensatory strategies for success in life. 

 

Several local city school districts are presently engaged in development of a multi-faceted mentorship program to support our area youth.  With buy in from a variety of mental-health, business, leadership, governmental, and faith-based organizations in the community, the launch of such a program has implications for affecting real and lasting change for our youth.  

 

By connecting our students with high-quality, invested mentors in a variety of differentiated programs, children are met with potential for improved conflict-resolution, goal-setting, and hope-based relationships to impact the trajectory of their lives.  Below, find some of the various programming resources available to youth engaged in the Community Connector Consortium
