Making Connections in Hartford
Community Network

Community change is a long-term process. Its success depends on the will of the public. If the public believes that positive change is possible and works collaboratively to develop a cohesive and comprehensive set of results-based strategies and actions, then change becomes inevitable. But it takes a sizeable number of people from all sectors of the community to become involved in and committed to working together to advance the change process. This includes residents, resident-serving provider organizations, public and private funding organizations, and policymakers.

Individuals and organizations from each of these public sectors now partner with the Making Connections in Hartford change process. They participate in the following work groups: Resident Leadership; Family Economic Success; Children are Healthy and Prepared to Succeed in School; and Authentic Demand. Together they comprise the Making Connections Community Network.

We are continuously working to broaden and strengthen the Community Network by reaching out to all individuals and groups interested in adding their voices to the community-wide effort of improving the well being of vulnerable children and families in Hartford’s neighborhoods.
