At its core Making Connections in Hartford is a
community-led change process. Its goal is to close the
glaring financial and educational gaps between
families in Hartford’s distressed neighborhoods and
the Greater Hartford area and region. Making
Connections’ success depends on the active engagement
of stakeholders from all sectors of the community
including the residents who make-up the target
population.
Our mission is to strengthen and connect
community-wide resources while mobilizing the public
will to bring about the systemic changes that are
needed to increase social and economic opportunities
for vulnerable families. These families deserve equal
access to a sound education, good jobs with benefits,
and the resources to save for a better future.
Making Connections in Hartford's individual and
organizational partners are joined together in a
resident-focused, results-based, and data-driven
community building effort in Hartford with a special
emphasis on the Frog Hollow and Upper Albany
neighborhoods. As the specific programs and services
of Making Connections' partners begin to measurably
improve conditions in these two neighborhoods, they
will be expanded and replicated in other neighborhoods
throughout the city.
