Community Connections, "bringing school and community together," offers quality before- and afterschool opportunities for students in Berlin, Calais, East Montpelier, Middlesex, Montpelier and Worcester, Vermont. We also offer key youth-mentoring intitiatives including our 9-year-old Girls/Boyz First mentoring program. Our youth outreach coordinator works with out-of-school youth and those at risk of dropping out of school, to explore alternative education options and employment opportunities, and guide them in making healthy life choices. Our PEP wellness program works to improve fitness and nutrition of both children and adults. We promote community education and events for all ages.
