Quick Overview of departments
Children, Youth, & Families
To provide a safe and supportive place were children, youth, and families can develop their social and emotional capacity, try new things, and take leadership over their community and life. Connexions feels very strongly about identifying the needs of children, youth, and families. We do this through an innovative needs assessment created specifically for the schools.
Community Development and Citizenship
To help the community identify their goals and find means to achieve them. By ways of asset mapping and needs assessments, Connexions will guide communities to plan their activities more efficiently to allow the community to be most effective. Moving away from bricks and mortar, Connexions will provide e-learning workshops and courses, including community building toolkits for members.
